Paul Smith: Oakley Frogskin Glasses

There’s nothing better than a nice pair of Sunnies, so The Chronicles of Cool were delighted when we saw a collaboration between Paul Smith and Oakleys floating about. The Paul Smith designers have put down their beautiful suits for the time being, to jump on the retro Sunglasses bandwagon, teaming up with the eyewear giants. The glasses, based on Oakleys iconic 1986 Frogskin frames, are inspired by ‘the surf and skate’ generation, when pretty much everybody with long hair looked cool. This limited edition release (only 500 available) for Spring/Summer 2009 features the Sunnies in four different high voltage colourways – Pink, Purple, Blue and the outrageously nice camo design.
