FOR SOME REASON
None of my pictures seem to be uploading, this is probably because my Internet has been up and down for the past week, which hasn't really helped on the whole final major project part.
but I shall keep trying!
I found this quite interesting :
''Italy's advertising watchdog, the Institute for Advertising Self-Discipline (IAP), has banned Tom Ford Eyewear ads from national media. A close-up photo of a woman wearing the brand's sunglasses with a man's finger in her mouth was deemed by IAP to be "markedly vulgar" and, as such, it "transcends the limits of simple bad taste and offends the sensibility" of viewers. In addition, the committee believes the "scene evokes an offending and abusive act against women, which degrades the dignity of the person." IAP also said the sexual innuendo and provocative edge are part of a campaign based on these kinds of images, noting that the brand's Web site itself describes the spring-summer campaign photos as "sexually explicit." Vincenzo Guggino, general secretary at IAP, said the images were banned after publication last month in three magazines, including Italian Vogue. "Fashion companies very rarely present their ads for inspection before they appear in the media," said Guggino. "Our mission is to promote better and more acceptable communication." . source: WWD.com
the pictures will be coming soon (as soon as they FINALLY upload) and then you will see what I mean.
when conducting my questionnaire -
the most remembered ad was the Tom Ford adverts
and it's so easy to understand why -
his images are so OUT THERE, sometimes even SHOCKING.. and sometimes you really wonder - what do certain things have to do with glasses. Like the one's with the crows? I didnt understand that.. did you?
but I shall keep trying!

GRAZ EYEWEAR
One of my favourite eye-wear brands - and former KSUBI alum (all those aussie's are intertwined!)
these are the 'Ellery' - It has killed me a little inside that I never BOUGHT a pair of these while I had the chance, as they are now prettttty sold out
They come in an amazing array of colours
and they have the nicest shape - a shape that can suit most faces - although since they are quite big you have to question whether they would suit your style..

If you haven't guessed,
i'm doing a brand stretch - sunglasses
for an Australian Brand - Sass and Bide.
Down in Australia there is definitely a very beachy kindof lifestyle so it seemed appropriate to do.
Sass and Bide are one of my favourite brands, and they definitely have a very unique style,
you don't usually find any other brands that 'look' the same. I think realistically, this would be a good thing for them to do. A lot of very good eye-wear comes from australian brands eg Ksubi, so they will definitely be a competitor
here are some of their sunglasses:

Importance of Sunglasses
-Probably my one true 'shopping' weaknesses are sunglasses. I love them, I have quite a wide selection. I remember I would usually not wear them out in the sun though because of maximum tanning opportunity.
But its now known that sunglasses are actually very important due to the damage UV rays can inflict on your skin. It's usually recommended that we use sun block every day (even cloudy days), or at least SPF tinted moisturiser (i dont do this)
But it's said to be important now to wear sunglasses as well everyday - not just if you're sitting in the sun to protect your eyes.
Many people find direct sunlight too bright for comfort during outdoor activities. Healthcare professionals recommend eye protection whenever the sun comes out[2] to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation (UV) and blue light, which can cause several serious eye problems.
