ICONIC INFAMOUS VINTAGE RELEVANCE
A Taste of Vintage Glamour can make any beautiful woman extraordinary.
The iconic Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis was impeccably styled with garments designed by the most creative minds in fashion of her time. The Glamorously refined aspects of her wardrobe choices are forever captured by the countless chronicled images which have served as lessons to inspire classic definitions of how timeless elegance should compliment natural beauty.
The Woman Icon wears a unique oversized sunglass to reflect her bigger than life persona. Exceptional in portraying unwavering confidence. A "Jacqueline" sense of self, unshakable in the face of a worldly audience.
Timeless and Elegant designs, pre-requisites for Jacqueline's casual wardrobe selections, as well, endeared us to the famous "american royal" persona and helped set the stage for a love affair we'd have with Jackie which came to last long after the days of glamorous ball gowns at the White House. Young woman now recognized that they could adopt her tasteful, classic and elegant style in their own more practical wardrobes. Jacqueline's access to the top minds in fashion throughout her entire life, as A Kennedy and Then an Onasis, entitled Jackie, this natural beauty, access to defining her own image by continual exposure to the latest and the very best. 
The very well recognized original-lot sunglass pictured here above, by the infamous french house coutourier Nina Ricci, is on display at CATEYE VINTAGE SPECTACLES BOUTIQUE.
The most famous piece of eyewear Haute Couture ever worn by Jacqueline is actually available in mint unworn dead stock condition. One rare piece in stock at the boutique. Fabulously oversized and famously recorded in history on a grand scale when photographed on the face of the Icon herself for the cover of british social magazine MATCH.
Pinton eyewear, another Kennedy-Onasis classic has been re-released by the House of Pinton!
See this more casual model and many others by this amazing french designer.

FRANÇOIS PINTON | PERSONALITY and nothing else
" But remember, this is your personality and nothing else that will inspire the style of your frame. "
This story begins with a man who calls his essence to produce creatively, his "creator tendency". Robert Pinton believed this tendency was most important in the creative process to directly achieve authenticity and legitimize a body of work.
Mr. Pinton's body of work commenced with the creation of
F R A N Ç O I S P I N T O N COLLECTION in 1932. The refinement and quality practiced by this professional craftsman quickly focused a faithful following. The creations in his collections would garner him a patriotic followership and almost demand unparalleled admiration from his clients, many among which were fabulously famous personalities.
Marlene Dietrich wrote about him, "You are the only man I've ever been faithful to..."
Jacqueline Kennedy most iconic and famously remembered accessory was a manifestation of his design philosophy. We all know the Jacky O´ look.
F R A N Ç O I S P I N T O N designs are timeless reflections of a designer profession with respect for the soul of the craft released in each piece comprising the emblematic collection.
"A timeless frame will stay timeless, however it seems extremely sharp and accurate on some people, or classical or vintage on some others. Some models in this collection will fit as well your mother, brother or niece. But remember, this is your personality and nothing else that will inspire the style of your frame."

Austrian hand made eyewear is produced with impeccable quality and design value. The reputation for frame manufacturing excellence has been taken very serious in this region for many decades by the artisans who have come to master this specialization. Andy Wolf frames are created through delicate processes improved upon year after year and passed down from one craftsman to the next.
Artistry in design philosophies are always reminiscent of the Austrian culture reflecting elegant yet modern Germanic tones of a utilitarian approach. The lines are strong, defined and hard yet seem to thin out and disappear when it is necessary for them to do so. Rigid yet soft qualities have become a sort of trademark, identifying Austrian design which is repeatedly visible in the compounding number of notable pieces released over the past decades from this region.
Remarkable is this school of eyewear design and it has found incredible success. ANDY WOLF, Vienna line, Silhoutte and others have built a reputation on a distinctive design quality grounded in impeccable manufacturing and this has been increadibly well recieved by critics world wide for decades now.ANDY WOLF frames are sold only at exclusive boutiques and purchased by the most discerning admirers of timeless, incomparable and distinctive eyewear.
