Tom Ford sunglasses: retro meets modern

Written by Tania Braukämper.

Like much of fashion at the moment, the latest collection of eyewear from Tom Ford is retro infused, yet distinctly modern. Spring 2011 is a sweeping spectrum from vintage cat eye through to Ford’s luxury take on the classic aviator, and as usual there’s no real middle ground between the ultra-feminine styles and the ultra-masculine ones. That’s not to say they can’t cross genders – but that a Tom Ford frame is, even if a classic one, a strong one.

And some good news for the myopics and hyperopics (or indeed for those who wear optical frames purely as a fashion statement) – Ford has also released two new styles of ’60s-inspired spectacle based on the ones Colin Firth wore in A Single Man. Now all you need is the wardrobe and bachelor pad to go with them.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
