Our Ten Favorite Linda Farrow Designer Sunglasses
Designer sunglasses are a dime a dozen. Unfortunately their prices are not. And worse, they’re usually not creatively-affiliated with the fashion houses whose names are glossily embellished into the sides of each frame (licensing deals!!!). There is, however, one brand that has managed to maintain the integrity of its own label, as well as push innovative collaborations with an editorial elite deck of designers including: Jeremy Scott, Oscar de le Renta, and KRISVANASSCHE.
Linda Farrow was founded in 1970 as a luxury eyewear brand in London. After a few years of early success, Farrow—a RTW designer, turned sunglass-producer—put the brand on pause to focus on her young family. In 2003 Simon Jablon, Farrow’s son, and Tracy Sedino re-launched the brand, and today, Linda Farrow 2.0 observes its ten year anniversary. To celebrate this passing, the label has teamed up with fashion non-profit BOFFO for a New York City pop-up shop and installation at Super Pier, as well as released a special anniversary capsule collection. On our end, we’re enjoying things from the sidelines and paying homage by lusting over reflecting on our most favorite sunnies from the past ten years.
