Fast forward |>|> Very limited edition Sthereo glasses by Theo

Play.

Pause for thought. Spoilt for choice by the range of retro glasses? Looking for something like all that, but a bit different? Try these.

Sthereo glasses by Belgian spec-supremos Theo play on the cool looks of yesteryear but are brought bang up to date with the rivet markings, in the shape of fluorescent stop, pause, fast forward and rewind symbols.

You'd better skip on down to a top-quality opticians though - there are only 100 of each style available.

Stop. More great Sthereo spectacles through here...

Tom Ford sunglasses: the shades worn by Nicholas Hoult and Carolyn Murphy

Tom Ford's eye catching adverts have been here before, but I've never gone into detail on the sunglasses.

UK actor Nicholas Hoult, who co-starred in Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man, and Carolyn Murphy feature in the ads wearing various frames, the pick of the bunch being Henri (bottom), Nico (below) and Nikita (left). Superb.

Louis Vuitton Ella sunglasses in pink

These are called Ella by Louis Vuitton.

Note the way the left and right halves of the frame are connected only by the transparent material that forms the cats-eye shape.

Like these? You might like these Prada sunglasses...

Two things are Infinit: cool glasses and sunglasses

I told you I was on a role. This is Infinit eyewear and it's good. From Buenos Aires, the company also makes headphones and watches - and you may remember the glasses display concept I featured a while back. For now, sit back and soak up some lovely glasses pics...

Lotho handmade acetate sunglasses - you know Yuwano...

Lotho sunglasses are designed in Paris, handmade in Japan. I'm on a bit of role of being introduced to new names and Lotho is my latest happy find.

A young brand, Lotho has some great takes on classic styles such as (top down) Henry, Allie and Aroun (left).

But with this limited edition Yuwano, Lotho's designer, Coco, demonstrates an ability to create something bold and directional, bringing contrasting elements together to dramatic effect.

More ace acetate sunglasses: Tim Van Steenbergen knows his grizzled skipper from his Corsican swallowtail

So it seems I started something when I raved about the acetate used in Derek Lam's 2010 sunglass style, Mauro. For I have now been nudged toward Tim Van Steenbergen's 2010 sunglasses, or more specifically Theo, by Tim Van Steenbergen...

So where do grizzled skippers and Corsican swallowtails come into it? TVS's sunnies are all named after butterflies - hover over each image for Latin and common names. Four more Tim Van Steenbergen shades through here... (or below if you can see them already...)

Christina Aguilera wears Carrera sunglasses in her Not Myself Tonight video

Carrera Endurance sunglasses as seen on Christina Aguilera's video Not Myself Tonight, another one of 'those' videos which is getting the right wing press all hot under the collar. I think last time it was Rihanna wearing these retro 1980s shades... I like the shades. And the highly practical raincoat.

Derek Lam sunglasses enter race for best acetate of 2010

Derek Lam has entered the race for best acetate of 2010 - the blue-black shades at the top are Mauro Lapis and the material looks like a stainglass window... top marks. Middle: Lucy Caram; Bottom: Edie Tort.
