Continous Play: Swedish House Mafia- Save The World

As a devoted animal lover and supporting member of the ASPCA & Peta, Selima instantly became obsessed with Swedish House Mafia's video for 'Save The World' featuring a pack of man's best friends out to save the troubled world around them. A simple message with a sweet story line that's been gorgeously produced to an equally fun song, what could be better?

Boom! Boom! New Orleans Here We Come!

Members of the Selima Optique crew are down in New Orleans prepping for the opening of Art & Eyes, our latest stockist in the big easy. Located on the city's iconic Magazine st, the shop opens on November 1st and we couldn't be more excited.

The city's energy and progressive spirit are right up our directrice Selima Salaun's alley which should make for a perfect fit!

Enjoy John Lee Hooker's infectious 60's era live performance of Boom! Boom! above.

Continuous Play: Elli et Jacno - 'Main dans la main' 1980

Who doesn't get into the groove when it comes to late 70's & early 80's French electro-pop?

Continuous Play: "Sabali" by Amadou and Marian(remix)

When Selima loves a song, her obsession, like many of ours, envelopes her world in a continous loop of said tune with this week's favorite coming from Grey X Sage's serene remix of the song "Sabali" by Amadou and Marian. Of course not so coincidentally, it also happens to be from the soundtrack of another obsession of her's as of late, John Turtrro's film about Neapolitan song, "Passione."

Continuous Play: Cut Copy's "Feel the Love" Video

Revisiting Cut Copy's album, In Ghost Colours, which

Selima has been loving since it came out a few years ago, enjoy!

Continuous Play: "Home" by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

Congrats to them; they're playing three sold-out shows in New York this week.

The crew at Selima Optique has been listening to this maniacally on repeat for the past month, so why not share it with you and spread the obesession?
