Linda Farrow have collaborated with high end fashion brands, Colab with artists and designers, but new eyewear brand Phosphorescence has taken things to another, and broader level. Their philosophy is based around working with artists, designers, stylists, musicians and more to fulfill everyones need for individual style. To launch, they have collaborated with Erin Wasson, Rockers NYC, Opening Ceremony, United Bamboo, Kim Gordon, No Age, and Maria Kornejo. Impressive list huh! The glasses do the names justice too, we’re impressed, I have a feeling we’re going to be hearing alot about Phosphorescence in 2011.

“We are all born with distinct personalities.
Each individual’s life experiences lead to the creation of one’s personal style. Style does not start with what you wear, but the originality each person is born with. Our goal at Phosphorescence is to create sunglasses that can become an extension of yourself and your personal style. Being a visual artist and musician myself, I created Phosphorescence as an arena for all different types of creators to come together to have a space to collaborate with each other. I’ve always wanted to bridge the gaps between fashion, design, and art. With Phosphorescence I have created such an arena. I am inviting fashion designers, graphic designers, artists, style icons, architects, and musicians to come together to create something they might not have thought they could create. I feel all people should come together to help our creative network grow, to inspire and challenge each other to ascend in our practice, no matter what that practice is. Phosphorescence strides to become a cultural meeting point for all people. Together the Phosphorescence team strive to create a line of eye wear that evokes creativity within the person who wears them, to make each individual who wears Phosphorescence eye wear to feel strong and original when they step into the world.”

If you’re as keen as I am to get your hands on some of these frames, they’re available at Steven Alan, Opening Ceremony, Isetan and colette.

PradaPrivate is the Italian luxury giants move into personalizing their product. Following the likes of Nike, Converse and others in allowing their consumer the chance to personalize and even customize their products, and in more relevant moves, the likes of Goyard and Louis Vuitton. The system allows for 2 letters, numbers or symbols to be placed on the arms, and made in the colour of your choice, when it become available from December 5th at Prada and Sunglass Hut retailers around the world.

The only problem is the actual frames on offer, they are so bad we’ve chosen to not even show them, but we thought you’d be interested in the concept itself, you could of course search the net to find the frames, but we guarantee you’re wasting your time, maybe hold out for some better frames to be added to the selection.(Please Prada!!!)
