Linda Farrow Collaborations sunglasses with LUELLA. Limited production black acetate chunky wayfarer design with heart crests. NOS vintage

The Linda Farrow company has forged it's niche via a persistent programme of collaborations since somewhat before the collab/celebrity endorsement gimmick became so mainstream. The people that Farrow collaborate with are professional designers who are very good at what they do. They're not people who knock different shaped balls around, do vocals on annoying songs they didn't write, or have famous parents whose talent they didn't inherit. Those designers have included Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang, Phillip Lim, Dries Van Noten, Erdem, Matthew Williamson, The Row, Opening Ceremony etc etc and Luella is one of them. There is not massive amounts of press on the subject but certainly there is the sense that it's the kind of thing that they invite designers on the basis of, 'would you like to see yourself in this hall of fame alongside peers who were sensible enough to accept'. And consequently it manifests itself as a passion project in which they can on some level, be released from the constraints of the commercial essentials of their regular day job. As a result they are produced in quantities that are quite small and consequently assist them in charging extremely handsome prices for { and let's be clear for the casual browsers, that price, is not in the high end definition that many people have ie; over £300 range, it is comfortably twice that much }. This model is essentially a modified wayfarer shape in a thickened frame with charming golden heart portholes instead of any overt vulgar branding. Ideal for the customer who wants an exclusivity beyond the level of the regular Tom Ford type of superbrands. That is to say, you want to impose your style on people but not necessarily your wealth as well.
