LA-based jewelry line Alex + Chloe ascended quickly since launching in 2004. Sometimes shiny, always modern, and inspired by pop culture, nature, architecture and, at times, an off-center darker side, the collection has now extended itself to eyewear for men and women, priced at $190 and offering two styles, but in myriad colors. They've found a big fan in Josh Spear: "Pulling from the familiar shapes of the aviator and the wayfarer, the two sunnies in this initial collection mix classic shapes with non-traditional colors and detailing, and serve as a nice teaser to what we can hope from the pair in the future." You can find the collection online. [Josh Spear]
