I've been loving my Mosley Tribes sunglasses since I first started wearing them a couple months back. The styling is great, comfort perfect and optics top-notch. I've also been a long time fan of Nina Garduno's work at Fred Segal and her relatively new clothing line, FREECITY. This week the two come together with the launch of a limited edition series of sunglasses distributed exclusively at Fred Segal's Melrose location.
"Nina is one of the most influential and progressive women in fashion today. What she has created with FREECITY is inspiring. We have been long time friends and I am honored to work with her," says Larry Leight, Co-Founder and Chief Designer of Oliver Peoples and Mosley Tribes, when talking about their first brand collaboration. The frames come in three color combinations—gold with blue lenses, gold with yellow lenses (pictured here) and silver with brown lenses. The shape is a slightly squared off aviator and the co-branding is subtle and tasteful.

An astute mix of nostalgia, luxury and street, her stylized but casual clothing is...
Hamilton's latest ODC X watch continues to draw on the 1966 Kubrick-commissioned original, a limited-edition watch featured in "2001: A Space Odyssey" and so eye-catching that both Vogue and Esquire featured it. In 2006, Hamilton decided to rework the ODC-X and came out with another limited-edition timepiece, "X-01." After tremendous positive response to the sequel, Hamilton started brainstorming for the next concept. The new...
From the award-winning restaurant design team Avroko comes an equally adept collection of "uniforms" for the playful womenswear label Mona & Holly. Muddling the lines between service and fashion, Avroko's recent endeavor was inspired by the modest nurse attire from the 1900s and the glamorous steward outfits of the '50s, resulting in a collection of beautifully detailed, elegant apparel. The limited edition line will...
While yachts and tattoos generally have little in common, the street-savvy boys behind Vane New York prove that everyone loves a good boat shoe with their urban rendition of Sebago's classic Dockside. Both purveyors of quality, the two brands used their shared attribute to produce a shoe that comes together naturally while keeping to their independent styles. The outcome is a classy downtown loafer...
Levi's is no stranger to collaborating with pioneers of modern art; originality like that of Shepard Fairey and Damien Hirst have a lot in common with the brand's creative spirit and rock n' roll attitude. Joining the ranks of this esteemed consortium is famed graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister who unmade a pair of 501 jeans, stripping and unweaving them down to their core to...
