Round glasses are all the rage!

The New York Times- style section just did a whole slide show with famous people with round glasses. They are making a comeback it seems- but have they really ever gone away?

I liked the slideshow which got me to thinking about other people out there that wear round glasses and what a statement they make.

So here we have a few famous people that we all know to add to the list and some local friends to add to this "round glasses club" list. I really enjoy the oversized and chunky frames the best- personally. They have gone beyond the "architects go to glasses"

In no real order: Iris Apfel, Carrie Donovan, Dominick Dunne, Andy Warhol, John Lennon, David Hockney, Ruth Madoff, Edith Head, Joy Bianchi, Henri Matisse, Philip Johnson, Katherine Pearson, Ghandi, Paul Wiseman, Le Corbusier, Orlando Diaz-Azcuy, Jackie O, Sigmund Freud, David Wing and of course Suzanna Allen!

Who else?

I need to get my eyes checked and jump on the trend!

Happy Friday!

We interrupt this broadcast with a NEWS FLASH!

KARL LAGERFLED- CHANEL SHOW - VENICE

The fashion world is a all abuzz with Karl Lagerfield's highly anticipated new line at the Chanel show- this week in Venice- for his 2010 line.

Why Venice? Coco Chanel was facinated by Venice in her first trip in 1919. This inspired the line for Karl. Talking about a symbol that maybe be playing apart of this collection- the lion (which I found this a great door bell walking this afternoon) Chanel collected lion figurines while visiting and she was also a Leo...

Word is that Karl has been spotted all of the city and is prepping the show himself and packed 13 (yes 13) bags of luggage (including his favorite Goyard suitcases). I thought that I packed a lot with my two bags- but I guess if you are KL- there really isn't such a thing is packing light and you have a team of manservants to assist your every need.

The show is today in the Lido. Here are shots from the Chanel store windows yesterday afternoon. I was jet lagged and tired- but it reminded me so much of my trip to the Chanel aparment last year while in Paris (for those who missed: http://grantkgibson.blogspot.com/2008/09/chanel-ing-coco.html

And now we take you back to our regular scheduled program...Venice.

(Yes- it is 2.45 in the morning- I can't sleep at all. I did get 5 hours of sleep in and I somehow hope that my blogging makes me sleepy and I can get a few hours- I can dream of cappuccino for breakfast!)
