Persol, an Italian Eyewear company founded in 1917 to make advanced lenses for Italian fighter pilots, has come a long way in its almost century long history. From the aviation experts of the First World War to the celebrities of yesterday and today, Persol has never lacked in aficionados. Lets take a look at some of Persol’s biggest fans.
George Clooney looks great in his Persol 2243-s, but there’s no suprise there.

His Ocean’s 12 costar, the timeless Julia Roberts, also loves Persols, helping to break the “boys only” image.

New Hollywood loves Persol too. Here’s Justin Timberlake bringing sexy back in his favorite pair.

Lindsay Lohan, America’s favorite hot mess, covers her hangover grimace in this popular Persol frame.

Orlando Bloom wears the same frame, but in a lighter color. And with less hopelessness on his face.

Even James Bond wears Persols.

Lastly, the most iconic Persol wearer, and my persomal favorite, Steve McQueen.

No matter what your look or style, Persol has a frame for you. Come find it at our Trunk Show this Saturday, October 22, 2011.

Chanel. Just the one word is enough to bring to mind images of timeless beauty, classic style, and groundbreaking fashion. Chanel means many things to many people, but to us, it means flawless style.
Even pushed back on Anne Hathaway’s head, her Chanel 5012′s make a statement.

Britney saves a bad hair day with an awesome shield frame.

Dita Von Teese has such a wonderful vintage style that Chanel works perfectly to compliment. Here she is in her 4180s.

The former Mrs. Woods also has a perfect Chanel frame for her style, sporty but elegant.

Jennifer Love Hewitt uses her Chanel model 5138 to channel Holly Golightly.

Jenny McCarthy, one of our staff favorites, also loves Chanel. In this picture, she’s being styled here at SF Optics by our very own Alex Feldman.

Now for our suprise guest, Lady GaGa. She may not be the most obvious Chanel wearer, but she coaxes a new vibe from a classic frame.

Coco Chanel really knew what she was doing all those years ago, and her legacy has been continued by the wonderful designers that do her work today. For any style, classic and understated, or edgy and fierce, Chanel has a perfect frame. Come see the entire collection, including all the new Fall 2011 styles, at our Private Fitting this Saturday, October 22, 2011.
