This blog is dedicated to ladies in glasses. The vast majority of the portraits on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected. Nearly all the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.

Doreen 115
In spite of - or thanks to - their unusual trapezoid shape, these beautiful glasses by Pierre Cardin are always chosen by my models and Doreen was no exception. Like many models before her, Doreen was in doubt whether the glasses would suit her, but the results exceeded all expectations.
Note the height of the Cardin frame. This frame size emerged around 1975 and it remained quite popular for over a decade. Those were the days in which all the classic rules went overboard, often with marvelous results. Forget about the eyebrow line and almost replace it by a powerful eyebrow line above it. The wild abandon in the design of that glorious decade was fantastic. These Cardin glasses are a splendid example.
Again, the hat bought during the 1970's by the late mother of my life partner Nel provided a perfect counter balance for the glasses.
