Glasses :</p> <p>Luca Gnecchi Ruscone was born in Rome, Italy to an Italian family with strong roots to Africa. He spent most of his childhood growing up between both worlds. His father lives in Kenya and his mother was born in Eritrea, where Luca’s grandfather opened an optical store in the 1930’s with imported frames from Italy.  The rediscovery of these classically designed glasses inspired Luca to begin his own line of eyewear.</p> <p><a href="http://www.modedevue.com/shopping/lgr/item10041648.aspx"><a href="http://www.modedevue.com/shopping/lgr/item10041648.aspx">http://www.modedevue.com/shopping/lgr/item10041648.aspx</a></a></p>http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17324216669http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17324216669Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:48:00 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz4yidXpBZ1roez1ao1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>COLLABORATIONS: A.P.C. + L.G.R.

Since their inception, their one of a kind luxury eyewear was an instant success and an integral part in forever shaping the landscape of the industry. Other brands often try to imitate and take inspiration from Cutler and Gross, but there is nothing quite like the real thing; A difference which can not only be seen, but a quality which can be felt. </span><br/><br/><span>Cutler and Gross is not about being overly complicated. You will find no obnoxious branding or logo’s on the outside of their frames, yet they capture your eye with a “quiet elegance, and a firm and graceful classicism”. The brand adheres to the same principles today as it has for over four decades, and for which it is globally renowned: unsurpassed quality and timeless aesthetics. </span><br/><br/><span>While most designer frames are mass produced using flimsy injection molding techniques, the manufacturing process that Cutler and Gross employs is both expensive and time consuming; there are no short-cuts taken and no detail over looked. </span><br/><br/><em>“The Cutler and Gross frames are cut from sheets of acetate and then the rough cut goes into a polishing process where we first tumble the frame fronts and temples in a wood barrel for 3-4 days with resin chips and olive oil. The tumbling smoothes the surface of the frames and prepares for the hand polishing, without removing too much of the sharpness of the frame. Every hole is hand drilled and the pins and hinges are screwed by hand, no glue is used in the frame building process that takes 3 weeks.” </em><br/><br/><span>This manufacturing process has become a lost art today. A pair of Cutler and Gross sunglasses is made to last a lifetime, “The real McCoy” not just another designer decoy. </span></p>http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17179295207http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17179295207Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:07:24 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq1broEXYO1qzargmo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17179015646http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17179015646Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:03:10 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxre6qysQD1qzwhyzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>La gaf de soldar, el nuevo hipster</p> </blockquote>http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17176546519http://modedevue.tumblr.com/post/17176546519Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:24:00 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lybsjyQuEz1rnqxkeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Ebony.
