If you want fun, distinctive, vintage – or modern – eyewear, and you’re strolling the streets of Milano, head up the stairs to Foto Veneta Ottica. You might spend hours browsing!
I had been there a few years ago, and the other day I spontaneously decided to stop in for a peek. Hooked on red glasses, I asked to see what they have. They pulled out a tray full of red-wear, but what caught my eye was a pair off to the side, in another case.
Bingo! This pair, from the 70s, by Italian designer Mila Schön, is certainly “fun, distinctive and vintage”, and a bit outrageous. They put new lenses in them for me and I picked them up the next day. Fabulous. There won’t be anything like them on the streets of Seattle!
