Architects & Eyeglasses

You can always spot an architect in a crowd. If it is not the uber cool shoes that give it away, it's the sensational specs. Lasik surgery? No way. Why would anybody in their right mind give up glasses? Japan has so many fantastic optical shops. And the frame possibilities are endless! This country is made for wardrobing.

Yesterday I met with an architect who had the most marvelous eyewear. Swirls of thin, matte black metal, the frames gracefully encircled the almond-shaped, clear glass lenses. The overall look was art nouveau meets architectural model shop. Though assertive, this pair of peepers did not overwhelm nor demand attention.
