May 8, 2012 Josh Hutcherson in Persol sunglasses
When a movie is as successful as The Hunger Games, and you become a star overnight, it's not easy to handle yourself well. Actor Josh Hutcherson has been doing a pretty good job so far, though! The 19 year old has been dating actress Ariana Grande since the beginning of the year, sources citing that "They've been trying to keep it low-profile, because it's still rather new." The young actor previously stated "I don't think I've had love at first sight. But, I've definitely had moments where I've seen a person, and I'm like, 'Wow, there is something different about you, and I really want to get to know you.' I haven't really gained up the courage to talk to those girls. I still get a little nervous when talking to girls. Which is awful, and embarrassing, because I feel like I shouldn't". Here he is with Avan Jogia, wearing a tank top, jeans and sneakers, and a pair of Persol sunglasses. The look is casual and age appropriate, and he gets to show off his arms too.

May 3, 2012 Giovanna Battaglia in Persol sunglasses
Former model and current editor of L'Uomo Vogue as well as contributing editor for W magazine, Giovanna Battaglia is one of those ladies that everyone wants a picture of. The street style photographers' darling is currently living in New York with boyfriend Vladmir Restoin-Roitfeld, who just happens to be Carine Roitfeld's son. Giovanna is known for taking fashion risks, being an avid mix-and-macher for years now. The super-stylish and influential lady was spotted during Milan Fashion Week rocking metallics and neutrals in a combination to remember. The fashionista picked a metallic shirt, casually unbuttoned, and paired it with a pencil skirt in a military shade. She added statement jewelry, a Bvlgari snake-skin handbag and high heels, and finished with masculine Persol PO0714 sunglasses. We love the bold combination of feminine and masculine and think that it's a perfect choice for Giovanna. She wore this look to a Jil Sander show, but you could wear something similar when you go out with friends, to an art opening or even to work, if the dress code permits it.

May 2, 2012 Persol Capri sunglasses
A new generation of Persol sunglasses is about to take the world by surprise and rise as one of the most coveted styles of eye-wear. The brand's latest collection, Capri, is inspired by the island of the same name in Naples, and specifically Casa Malaparte, a masterpiece of Italian architecture. A breath of fresh air in the brand's style, the Capri line is youthful and modern, yet using the same high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Persol Capri sunglasses The iconic Persol arrow on the temples has been redesigned to reminisce the shape of Casa Malaparte's contour; the sunglasses have a Meflecto System in C shape, inspired by the oblique curve of the building; and the back end of the temples are made to resemble the stairs that lead to the roof of the Casa. Persol PO3024s suglasses The PO3024s style is designed for men, and it comes in adventure green (pictured), blue, brown, two types of black and havana. The PO2035s style is for women, and it's available in havana, black, light havana, cocoa, blue and white. While the male version is rather rectangular, with a keyhole nose bridge, the female version is more rounded and a bit cat eye.

Apr 17, 2012 How to wear Persol sunglasses
We picked the Persol PO2949 sunglasses to style today, since they're some of the few Persol sunglasses for women. The oversized style is perfect for the warm season, as they offer increased protection against UV rays, plus the colors are versatile and ready to wear. '   How to wear Persol sunglasses by kittenhood featuring ettika jewelry Persol sunglasses PO2949S : $128 - Persol PO2949S sunglasses, $238 For this look, we opted for a trendy pair of floral pants from D&G, which we combined with a knotted neutral shirt. The nude sandals are Alexander McQueen and the handbag is Marc by Marc Jacobs, small and made of straw. We then layered with a 3.1 Phillip Lim off white blazer and added jewelry: Betsey Johnson floral studs, a friendship bracelet and a rock ring, all of which complement the Persol sunglasses nicely.

Apr 10, 2012 Kevin Costner in Persol sunglasses
The famous Bodyguard actor, Kevin Costner, is currently under dispute with an artist, Peggy Detmers, about a series of sculptures. The Hollywood star commissioned Dermers to create 17 sculptures representing native Americans and buffalo, to be displayed at Costner's resort. The plans for the resort fell through, and the actor suggested another location for the sculptures, but the artist now claims that she did not agree on this new location, that the art should be sold and she should get 50% of the profit. With Costner so focused on this case, it's no wonder he hasn't been acting much. We will see him next year, though, in Man of Steel, a fantasy/adventure motion picture with superhero characters. Meanwhile, we can enjoy this picture of the 57 year old actor in a pair of Persol sunglasses, short and elongated, full rim and made of acetate.

Apr 3, 2012 Dakota Fanning in Persol sunglasses
It looks like the Fanning sisters have a soft spot for Persol sunglasses - we've already seen Elle Fanning wearing Persol sunglasses, and now it's time for her slightly older sister to be in the spotlight. Dakota is wearing the Persol Capri Edition Suprema Sunglasses, which are full rim, made of plastic, cat-eye shaped, and with metallic details (including the iconic Persol arrow) at the temples. A great style for Dakota, we'd say! Dakota Fanning is wearing her Persol sunglasses with a leather jacket, skinny jeans, an oversized shirt and a Proenza Schouler handbag. The actress says that she doesn't consider herself to be a "child-star" and that she prefers having some privacy, so she'll never have a Twitter or Facebook account. The doll-like young woman is also on the cover of Wonderland magazine, and we have to say it suits her to the toes.

Mar 27, 2012 Persol sunglasses to suit your face shape
For every face shape there is a perfect pair of sunglasses out there, you just have to know a few tips about what suits you best. Here are some examples: Round face - To create some angles on your face, you need rectangular or square shaped sunglasses. At Persol, the best choices are the PO2761s sunglasses ($144) and the PO2976s sunglasses ($155). Square face - Even for a man, a square face may be too angular. Create the right amount of curves with oval or round shaped sunglasses, like the PO0714 sunglasses ($216) or the PO2919s sunglasses ($216). Triangular face - If there is not balance between your forehead and your chin, one being much wider than the other, you probably have a triangular face. Create some balance with short sunglasses such as The PO2991s ($115). Oval face - You're in luck, because you can wear anything you like. Some of our recommendations include the PO2929 aviators ($144) and the PO2949 sunglasses ($149) from Persol.

Mar 20, 2012 Christina Ricci in Persol sunglasses
The 32-year old Christina Ricci has been a movie star most of her life. She started out at the age of 9 in Mermaids, alongside Cher and Winona Ryder, and then made an impression in Casper and The Addams Family. After a number of great and not so great parts over the years, in such movies as Buffalo '66, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sleepy Hollow, or New York, I love you, Christina came back to the spotlight with her part as the outspoken Maggie Ryan in the popular period TV series, Pan Am. With her youthful appearance and round-shaped face, Christina made an excellent pick with the Persol 2839s sunglasses, rectangular and full rim, made of dark colored plastic. It's a chic and casual look for Christina, who matched her Persol sunglasses with a Louis Vuitton bag and her cute dog.

Mar 13, 2012 How to wear Persol sunglasses
We picked a pair of male sunglasses by Persol and styled them for women, because we know every woman likes to borrow pieces from her boyfriend, even if only to keep his memory close while he's off to work or traveling. The Persol PO2953s sunglasses are short, full rim, made of plastic, and they look great with casual wear.   How to wear Persol sunglasses by kittenhood featuring tri color jewelry PO2953S, $155 For this casual look, we picked a pair of Balmain skinny jeans and teamed them with a Wildfox Couture cropped tee. To make it a little dressier than sporty, we added lace up booties with a block heel and a colorful Vivienne Westwood handbag. We finished with some cool accessories: Ashley Pittman and Monsoon bracelets, a Calypso St. Barth scarf and the Persol sunglasses from the men's section.

Mar 9, 2012 James Franco in Persol sunglasses
In 1999, Freaks and Geeks lauched, a TV show that unfortunately only lasted for one season. Based on the story of a few teenagers from the "wild side", the show was a huge success and many wondered why it was ever cancelled. One of the leads in the show belonged to the then 21 year old James Franco, as Daniel. The actor, known for his "bedroom eyes" and rebel look, has since played James Dean and other such iconic parts, but in our hearts he remains Daniel. James currently has lots of movies in preparation, such as Maladies, Tar, Lovelace, Child of God, or Oz: The Great and Powerful. On the other hand, we cannot help but notice how well he pulls of this casual look pictured above, with a checkered shirt and jeans, a suede jacket and the Persol 2999 s sunglasses in black. For a similar look, you can try the Persol PO2079s, also available in black.

Mar 7, 2012 Rectangular shaped Persol sunglasses
For men, no other sunglasses can look better than rectangular ones: these flatter round shapes and create masculine angles in all the right places. The Persol PO2747 sunglasses are such an example, great for everyday wear of any man. The Persol sunglasses are short, full rim, made of plastic, rectangular shaped, with fixed nose pads and the typical arrow shaped hinges that are iconic for the brand. You can get these sunglasses for $144, at a nice 33% off discount, in any of the following colors: black with crystal photo polar yellow/green lenses, black with polar green lenses, dark horn brown with crystal orange gradient lenses and havana with polar brown lenses. Each version comes with a fitting Persol case, a cloth and a certificate of authenticity.

Mar 6, 2012 Tom Cruise in Persol sunglasses
The latest news are less and less about Tom Cruise himself, and more and more about his young daughter, Suri. The 6 year old has been voted the most influential celebrity child in 2011, and she was number 21 on Glamour's best dressed women list for 2011, ahead of celebrities like Keira Knightley.  There is a dedicated blog that covers the girl's outfits (Suri Cruise Fashion Blog) - including heeled shoes, expensive purses and all the best children's clothing. Rumors are that Tom and Katie Holmes are about to break up, and that custody over Suri is disputed. While we cannot confirm or deny that, we do notice that Tom has been back to acting. In 2012, Rock of Ages will be out, and he already has three other movies prepared for next year: One Short, We Mortals Are and a sci-fi project that we don't know much about. Meanwhile, we can't deny how well Persol sunglasses suit Tom Cruise: it's like he's the Steve McQueen of today.

Feb 28, 2012 How to wear Persol sunglasses
For everyday wear, Persol sunglasses are a great choice. They go easily with work outfits, elegant ones and sporty alike.  We picked the Persol PO2979 sunglasses and styled them in an outfit that you can wear on several occasions - it's chic and versatile at the same time.     How to wear Persol sunglasses by kittenhood featuring a cotton knit sweater Persol sunglasses PO2979S : $128 - Persol PO2979S sunglasses Wear this casual look morning till night - it's comfortable and a bit out of the box. We paired a Carven sweater with an incorporated collar with a midi brown skirt from Marc by Marc Jacobs. The chunky heels from Tenoversix go perfectly with the collar and with the Jil Sander handbag. Besides the gorgeous Persol PO2979 sunglasses, we only added a statement necklace as accessory - a colorful one to add a pop of pink and orange to this otherwise simple look.

Feb 23, 2012 How to spot fake Persol sunglasses
Like most designer sunglasses, there are several copycats to each model of Persol sunglasses. The thing with those, besides their smaller price, is they they break easily, they don't provide enough UV protection and, well, they're fake. Here are some ways that you can tell if the Persol sunglasses you want to buy are fake or authentic. First off, fake Persol sunglasses will weigh less than the originals, due to the bad quality of the plastic they're made of. The metallic details are often just plastic, painted over with a metallic paint - if the metallic parts are skretchable, then the shades are fake. Persol sunglasses are made by the Luxottica Group, in Italy - if your sunglasses are made in China or any other country, they're not authentic. Printed on the interior of the arms should be the name of the brand, a series of the model, a series of the color, the diameter of the lens and the length of the arm - check the Persol website or an authorized seller to check the exact numbers that should appear on your Persols. Another thing is the price: while some sales may apply, it is impossible that Persol would sell sunglasses for $10 or other such small prices. However, a big price does not necessarily mean that the shades are authentic - check for the other details as well.

Feb 21, 2012 Elle Fanning in Persol sunglasses
Although Persol  sunglasses are designed for men, the PO0714 model is really popular among the ladies as well. Their masculine features play a nice contrast with the delicate face of a woman, such as the young and sweet Elle Fanning. Along with a maxi denim skirt, a striped long sleeve and Urban Outfitters wedge sandals, Elle is wearing a pair of Persol PO0714 sunglasses in havana brown. The 13 year old had her cinematic debut at the age of three, when she played a younger version of her sister, Dakota in I Am Sam. She's been active ever since, but it's her fashion campaign for Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 that got her in the attention of the press and fashion critics. The lovely young girl is already a fashion icon, and she's been on the cover of Teen Vogue, Love Magazine, Jalouse and W Magazine. That's pretty impressive for her age, don't you think? Moreover, her acting career is in bloom, with her 2011 premiere of We Bought a Zoo being pretty successful.  

Feb 15, 2012 Patrick Dempsey in Persol sunglasses
At age 46, actor Patrick Dempsey doesn't show any signs of getting old - on the contrary, he's looking better than ever. The sexy American who is famous for this role in Grey's Anatomy, recently told the press that he's not sure whether the show will be continued with yet another season. His contract is ending with the current season, but he'd be willing to continue acting if the show goes on and if he still gets the time for his other passion - car racing. Since Transformers: Dark of Moon and Flypaper in 2011, no other motion pictures with Patrick Dempsey have been announced, which leads us to believe he really does want to dedicate more time to racing. In the meantime, the ladies can enjoy this picture of Patrick wearing a pair of Persol sunglasses, the classic 2994.

Feb 10, 2012 Matt Damon in Persol sunglasses
In 2007, when Ocean's Thirteen launched, Matt Damon was a rising star in Hollywood. His parts in Ocean's Eleven and Twelve, The Bourne Trilogy or The Talented Mr. Ripley had already turned him into a major name in the movie business. The reason why we mentioned Ocean's Thirteen is because we couldn't help noticing that he wore a pair of Persol sunglasses in the picture, the Persol 2098, to be more precise. The shades are full rim, metallic, rectangular in shape and inspired by classic aviators. Five years later, Damon's career is still doing great. In 2013, he is to launch the drama Promised Land, the sci-fi Elysium and a biographical drama Behind the Candelabra. While we're looking forward to seeing more of Damon next year, we cannot help but feel nostalgic for the days when he was part of Ocean's Thirteen.

Feb 8, 2012 Short Persol sunglasses
Sunglasses for men are often short and rectangular, because this is a style that flatters the tough traits of guys. With Persol designing sunglasses almost exclusively for men, the Persol PO2832s sunglasses are short and rectangular, great for any men who cares about the health of his eyes. The shades offer 100% UV protection, they're light in weight and they can successfully be used on the beach, for driving or during everyday endeavors. The shades are full rim, made of plastic, with fixed nose pads and the metallic arrow hinge on the temples, that is a characteristic of almost all Persol sunglasses. You can get these for $126, at 32% off of the original price, in any of the following colors: black with crystal green lenses, black with polar green lenses or havana with gray green polarized lenses. You also get a Persol case, cloth and certificate of authenticity with your sunglasses.  

Feb 6, 2012 George Clooney in Persol sunglasses
"I was in some pretty crappy TV shows when I was younger. It was only after I did 'ER' that I was finally able to get a film role. I've learned success is more to do with luck than anything else," said George Clooney to Easy Living Magazine. If his starting days weren't the easiest, not the same can be said about where the actor's career is now. Clooney is nominated for multiple Academy Awards this year and he plans on directing more. One of the reasons for choosing this path is that, at the age of 50, there are less and less parts to play. Clooney has just recently launch The Descendants, a comedy/drama in which he plays the part of the father of two girls, and he's got another movie prepared for 2012: Gravity, the story of a space mission sole survivor. While Clooney is preparing his Oscars speech, we're glad to see him handsome as ever in a pair of Persol sunglasses, the PO2243, and a suit.

Jan 31, 2012 Male Persol sunglasses
Persol is, after all, a brand targeted at men, so it's no wonder that most of their sunglasses are designed for men. And since a pair of sunglasses for men is sold on eBay every 90 seconds, it's no wonder that brands try to offer so much variety for this group. Today, we picked the Persol PO 2953s sunglasses, which are casual and excellent for everyday wear, no matter what you combine them with.

Jan 12, 2012 Penn Badgley in Persol sunglasses
Gossip Girl's "Lonely Boy", actor Penn Badgley, is more than just a pretty face. While playing a lead role in the popular TV series, Penn has also been working on some motion pictures. After the success of Easy A in 2010 and the spectacular cast in Margin Call last year (Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons etc.), Penn is in post-production with his movie Greetings from Tim Buckley, a drama in which he's been cast the main part. Rumor has it that in 2013, we'll be seeing more of him in the romantic comedy One Night With You. On a personal level, there's been gossip that Penn and his girlfriend Zoe Kravitz would be having problems - but they dispelled them by romantically kissing in public this week. All rumors aside, what is true about Penn is that he looks great in the Persol PO0714 sunglasses, a.k.a. Steve McQueen sunglasses. Penn rocked the iconic sunglasses at their Persol launch party - just look how casual and effortless he looks in the unbuttoned long sleeve and the havana shades.

Jan 11, 2012 Steve McQueen wearing Persol sunglasses
Avid racer and actor Steve McQueen bought Persol sunglasses to fame in 1968, with the movie The Thomas Crown Affair. A fan of Persol himself, he owned a collection of sunglasses that was auctioned in 2006 for some $70,000. The legendary couple - McQueen and Persol - are together again after more than 40 years from their initial encounter, in a special edition of sunglasses, inspired by the now deceased actor. The PO0714s sunglasses are the ones we're talking about, and they have some details that few other shades have. The sunglasses feature the original blue lenses, a folding system at the brow, the metallic arrow on the temples and a "Steve McQueen" engraving inside the earpieces. 10,000 have been produced of this model, available in three color versions. The launch party in 2010 - image from Vogue.it You can get these limited edition sunglasses for $243, together with a Persol case and cloth and a certificate of authenticity.

Jan 10, 2012 Full rim Persol sunglasses for women
There are three things that set Persol sunglasses apart from other brands: the metallic arrow on the temples, the plastic that they're made of and the fact that they're almost always full rim.

Jan 9, 2012 Emma Stone in Persol sunglasses
2011 has ended on the right foot for Emma Stone - her latest movies Friends with Benefits, Crazy Stupid Love and The Help were all hits, and the new year is announced to be a great one for the young actress. She's got four movies in post-production, which will be released in 2012 and 2013: the comedy Movie 43, the action thriller The Amazing Spider-Man, the drama The Gangster Squad and the animation The Croods. Moreover, sources reveal that Emma will play the role of a novice drug dealer in Little White Corvette. The actress states that she prefers comedy to drama, mostly because of how the former made her feel as a child: "I loved them (i.e. comedies) and my dad loved them, and we would laugh together, and I would think, 'This is love.' I just wanted to make people feel like that." When she's not on set, Emma has amazing street style - you can tell just by looking at the casual-chic outfit that she put together in the picture above. Note that she's wearing a pair of cat eye Persol sunglasses, the PO2998s. Get a similar look with the Persol PO2963s, or check our online catalog for a variety of Persol sunglasses.

A touch of color comes from the Erdem scarf, while the eyes will be completely protected under the Persol sunglasses.

Jan 5, 2012 Elle Fanning in Persol sunglasses
It's hard to believe that Elle Fanning is only 13 years old! The little actress is already a style icon, and she's been featured in the fall-winter campaign for Marc by Marc Jacobs in 2011. Her fashion path doesn't end there, as the beautiful girl is on the February cover of Teen Vogue, looking fresh and childish in the best way possible. Meanwhile, her older sister Dakota, who is now 17, was featured on the cover of W magazine in December and is about to be on the cover of Cosmopolitan, too. How often does that happen to sisters of this age? These are rare birds, we tell you... Leaving photo shoots aside,  Elle has great street style, too. Here she is in an Elizabeth and James maxi, a studded Valentino purse, camouflage shirt, loafers and the popular Persol PO0714 sunglasses. We think she totally nailed this look, and that many older starlets would be envious.

Jan 3, 2012 Oval shaped Persol sunglasses
We associate oval shaped sunglasses with womenswear, because of the feminine traits of this shape.

An arrow metallic signature on the temples marks the Persol brand.

Jan 2, 2012 Persol aviator sunglasses
If it's class and timelessness that you're looking for in the way you dress, then you need all the right accessories. One of these accessories are surely aviator sunglasses.

Dec 15, 2011 About Persol Eyewear
In a small courtyard in Via Caboto, the year 1917, Giuseppe Ratti began making technically advanced glasses, especially for pilots and drivers: comfortable, protective and offering optimum vision. The result? The Protector glasses (or, more likely, goggles), with round smoked lenses, and an elastic band instead of arms - the glasses of the Armed Forces and Italian Military Aviation. They soon extended to the air forces of many countries, including the U.S. In the 1920s, the now iconic brown/yellow lens of the Persol glasses was created, which guarantees high protection against the harmful  sun rays. The name "Persol" actually comes from "per il sole", meaning "for the sun". In the 1930s, it was time for the birth of a symbol: the silver arrow, standing for the swords or ancient warriors, a Persol symbol on the hinge of the glasses. In the 6os, Persol glasses started to be noticed in movies and on celebrities - Greta Garbo, Steve McQueen, Marcello Mastroianni etc. The next decades meant the increase of Persol eyewear in the lives of an ever-growing mass of celebrities, as well as for regular people. Today, Persol is one of the greatest Italian eyewear brands, and one who has made it internationally with full success.
