I'm sensitive to light so I wear dark glasses most of the time or tinted perscription glasses. The frames are invariably something of a 1960s style like Browlines or vintage Cutler-Gross/Persol-types.

LK, I picture you as a sort of "Karl Lagerfeld Junior", a la the cartoon "James Bond Junior". My apologies if you are striving for more of a Jacques Helleu or John Loring look. Of course, we know that Lagerfeld is Hildeetch's most famous client...
