Stepping into the west side of Selfridges, we were met by a small exhibition space filled with trinkets, artwork and clothing. 'Bright Old Things' is an annual campaign based on the usual 'Bright Young Things' which 'hand-picks, nurtures and showcases some of the UK’s most exciting rising stars from the worlds of fashion, art, design and food'.
As a HUGE fanatic of eyewear, I was drawn straight to Robert Roope's sunglasses. I enjoyed the playful colours and the easy-to-wear shapes. When worn, the majority of the sunglasses felt quite average against the skin and in weight, but had a very classic, antique appearance which i enjoyed. A few pieces had a much more modern feel by adding brighter colours or using clear acetate.
I thought the price of the sunglasses were a good price point considering the usual customer within Selfridges and the unique story behind the designer. However i feel these sunglasses could potentially become slightly more atypical in design to create more interest.
