Bienvenue Selima!
January 22, 2009 | Filed In: Blog
We are tellement joyeux to welcome the latest addition to the Dumbo Pop-Up: vintage eyeglasses from none other than Selima Optique!
Soo-pair-cool Selima has been designing and selling the coolest frames to movie stars, fashionistas, and ordinary folks since the days before Senor Flea was just an intern at Paper magazine (that's 1994 for those scoring at home), and she's basically an icon of Downtown Cool, which is a phrase that used to mean something big. (Selima Optique has 4 Soho shops, plus a couple in Paris too. Here's a fun NY Times story on her from 2007.)
Anyway, Selima has oodles of amazing, funky, wearable eyeglass frames from every era, and her cute French pal Thomas will be there manning their booth (#1, at the entrance) for the duration of the Pop-Up. Thomas also designs brilliant Neoprene coats and clothes of primary-color vibrancy, which will be on-hand as well.
Focus, people, focus! This is serious stuff.
