We’re predicting an interesting year for Charles Anastase. First off, the
artist-cum-designer who counts Yoko Ono and Ronnie Cooke-Newhouse as fans is
returning home to Paris after several years in London. Then there’s his
collaboration with cult eyewear brand Linda Farrow Vintage. He’s
reinterpreting two styles of sunglasses, both of which are priced at $300
and are available from boutiques including Opening Ceremony and 10 Corso
Como. “It’s like a little girl who uses mother’s glasses to read a fairy
tale,” he says of the oversized Meredith design (above), inspired by one of
his runway models with the same name. The other, more classic model has been
christened “Emma” and includes a giant engraving of the designer’s favorite
animal: a swan. What else would it be?
