Specs Appeal: The New Book Eyewear

Fellow eyewear designer Moss Lipow discovers the history of eyewear from their humble, practical minded beginnings to their meteoric rise as an impression making fashion accessory in his new book Eyewear.

As a designer, collector & enthusiast Lipow combines his first-hand knowledge and curated collection of eyewear with an insightful look at the evolution of eyewear for this just released tome that should serve as an end-all reference for all things optical.

Featuring 1,000 optical images with frames that span 500 years, Lipow has culled information from a variety of sources including ancient texts, old catalogues, vintage magazines, and out-of-print publications of every kind.

Eyewear by Moss Lipow is available now at Taschen.com
