Tom Ford is probably in the small select group of designers that I wear for eye protection from the sun. I call them eye jewelry - as they adorn your face like a clothing accesory would a garment. They add a statement and a mood - these are definitely statement worthy - I have them in the brown and the black - I have gotten more compliments than I have had in ages on the stark impact of these frames on my face. For me - Tom Ford is quite a unique designer and his sunglass collection is superb.
