The Better To See You With, My Dear
TweetPin It
I’ve been wearing glasses since I was ten, but despite my various fashion obsessions, I’ve never wanted kooky glasses.
They always seemed a little too much, a little too silly, a little too Annie Potts when I wanted to be Molly Ringwald.
But these new specs from Manish Aurora might make me change my mind. The British designer known for his insanely embellished dresses and coats has taken his Bollywood fetish one step further, encrusting plain eyeglasses with bright lucite casings, charms, and oddly shaped lenses.
My favorite pair are the ones at left with hearts on the side.
They’re way cuter than a Chanel logo, and probably cheaper, too. xo faran.

I’m surpised I’ve never heard of this designer before. After reading this post I, of course, checked out their designs and they’re amazingly lavish. I love their henna-esque clad models and the overwhelmingly lavish designs are from the most random fabrics. I’ll definitely have to look into them a little more. After seeing a few of their collections I’m a little shocked that their glasses aren’t a little more embellished. Nice Post!!
