TI rocked the Benjamins for his Giant Magazine spread. The black “Kayne” works perfectly with Kenneth Capello’s 70’s sharp look. Also featured is the Benjamin Aviator, this frame has a perfect fit for almost any face. Giant miss credited all but one of the frames to Ray-Ban, but trust me you cant find this frame in the sunglass hut.

No its not a collab between two great designers, just a play on emerging styles.
Can you ID the glasses that Kanye is wearing in the Promo pics for his new Album, 808 & Heartbreaks?
Maybe a new release from his company Pastelle.
And maybe you have seen what Benjamin Eyewear has done with his premiere piece, “Kayne” inspired by designer Jenni Kayne?
Anyway, both are cool frames inside or outside the clubs.

Smaller is better? I think I see a trend.
First Kanye West at NY fashion Week and then Joe Jonas on the set of his new music video. Both showcase a smarter, smaller style of eyewear. And of course Benjamin Eyewear features a similar shape and look with his Model 001

The Rundown:
Great use of colors with grays, bone, lava
The clip is definitely working on all the frames. Perfect for the indoor/outdoor, sunny/cloudy routine
An Eighties flavor in the new style “Graham”.
And a can’t miss aviator. This style looks good on every face.
so don’t put them down or you will never get them back.

Just back from the offices of Benjamin Eyewear where we checked out some of the latest prototypes.
First Benjamin brought out his new line of classic Aviators.
They feature jeweled temples, 18 Karat plating, polarized lenses , handmade accents in Tortoise.
Several limited edition Aviators are due to follow.

The Model 003 just got clipped and according Ben, Jenni Kayne liked it enough to put it in her LA store.
The 003 is Benjamin’s oversize woman’s frame, to which he has added his 14 karat gold plated clip on.

Our friends at Salt Optics have been making amazing glasses for the past few years.
And Now Refinery29 & Selectism both agree.
The fact that these glasses are very well crafted and fit almost any face are just some of the reasons why we love them so much.
