Style "Crazy "- creative eyewear designs and extraordinary glasses

The vintage glasses, which we have summarized in our “Crazy” category, are of course not intended for crazy spectacle wearers.
Rather, they are eyewear creations that cannot be assigned to any classic eyewear shape.

They are often eyewear designs that are outside of the mainstream. One could therefore also describe many of the crazy vintage glasses as “anti-mainstream gasses”. What is striking here is that many “crazy glasses” no longer look crazy at all once they have found the right spectacle wearer. A pair of dazzling glasses that appears almost unwearable in a picture suddenly appears interesting on the nose and harmonises with the wearer’s face.

This unexpected effect can often be observed and is not surprising for lovers of crazy glasses, because these customers consciously choose an unusual vintage pair. In many cases, these spectacle wearers are simply looking for something special and know exactly what suits their type.

Vintage glasses as a work of art

Of course, there are also buyers for the crazy vintage glasses who want to attract attention or perhaps even provoke something. However, in our experience these prospective buyers rather make up the minority. These are often artists who opt for very unusual glasses or sunglasses – but do not use them as everyday glasses.

The old eyewear designs by Casanova or Theo are good examples of really artistic eyewear that can be called “crazy” at first glance. Some of them were really also designed as art glasses in limited numbers and have since become collector glasses.

Most of the old glasses of Casanova and Theo are wearable, as long as you find the right personality for them.

Alain Mikli’s old eyewear collection has a similar structure, because it also contains outstanding haute couture glasses that were only intended for the catwalk. The rest of the old Mikli designer glasses and designer sunglasses are actually intended for everyday use.

Other designers whose creations are sometimes called “crazy glasses” are Cazal, Colani and Gaultier. But also, here the assessment “crazy” lies again in the eye of the beholder (or wearer!).

Glasses for self-confident customers

For many European spectacle wearers it is almost unimaginable to wear the extravagant 80s and 90s glasses of Cazal, Colani or Gaultier. In Japan and the USA, however, the “crazy” eyewear models of these designers were and are a huge success. The many vintage glasses sold are proof that these designer models are not only appreciated by a small clientele.

Even if we could have labelled this category of vintage eyewear as “original”, “dazzling”, “extravagant” or “eccentric”, we decided on “crazy”, simply because customers often ask us, “Do you have any crazy glasses?”
