info Only a few years ago Neostyle's website had a lot more information about their history (since 1961!) but it has since been taken down. They still mention chief designer since the 70s, Konstantin Livas - who probably designed this Sunart 10 and say he's still there. But it seems now they'd rather not celebrate the past, except to remake a metal pair that Elvis used to wear. So you'll have to rely on us and the like for lost history. The Sunart range was spectacular and the 10 was one of the highlights. It is a VERY large frame - check sizes right - however we still think it was made for women due to the modest bridge size, but hey, don't let that put you guys off. A great combination of style and quality with the pale green lenses light enough to show off your eyes. The frame colour is difficult to describe: a mottled grey/brown with some mauve, we think. It is semi-translucent, so doesn't look too heavy, despite the dimensions. Neostyle's website previously told us that besides Elvis, they have fans as diverse as Queen Elizabeth, kd lang, Evel Knievel, George Bush, Moby and The Four Tops - so you'll be in good company! — klasik |
