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.

Want his look? We can provide the sunglasses, but you have to bring the swagger.

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

Julia and an unusual, closed-mouth smile.

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

Justin, I love you. Let's get married and live in a wonderland of fedoras and sunglasses.

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

It's ok, Lindsay. Coffee, orange juice, and a few cigarettes will set you right.

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

The one frame to rule them all...

Even James Bond wears Persols.

Ok, it's Daniel Craig, but whatever

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

Look at him. You can almost smell the manliness.

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.

Even pushed back on Anne Hathaway’s head, her Chanel 5012′s make a statement.

Look how pretty!

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

Well, tries to save it. But the glasses look great!

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

Can you believe that she was married to Marilyn Manson?

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

Hope she used Tiger's card...

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

I think we've all channeled Holly Golightly. If you haven't, you should.

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.

She is just to cool for words. Seriously. I have no words.

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.

Who would have thought to wear Chanels with beer can hair rollers? Genius.

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.
