LaMaisonGaga 23,884 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Lady Gaga is known to be having some of the best eyewear out there (after you of course, Sir Elton John!). One man that helped her curate this priceless private collection over the years is Corey Shapiro, head and art of Vintage Frames Company, who I virtually “visited” in Montreal. Surrounded by about 100,000 unique frames, every pair comes with history and stories each of them could tell, Corey patiently answered my questions. Grab your latte or maté and meet me after the jump! Go to the interview here. lamaisongaga.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renie 7,909 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Gaga has and always will have the most iconic sunglasses collection! Thanks to your Instagram and website I’ve been able to find some of the pairs she’s worn and bought them, not all for me, I’ve started a collection for @MonsterMom. But I’m obsessed with them and obsessed with the work you put in! If only I could afford some vintage pairs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwerk 7,246 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 What a great read, love the interview! Gaga is responsible for me collecting vintage sunglasses. I have a lot of fun finding rare pairs people let go off for a few bucks not knowing what they are. I totally understand her excitement and would probably have a wall filled with them if I was in her position. So sweet to read how she's not jaded but still fully enjoys these things. I have found these Emmanuelle Khanh 6485 GP but with brown tinted lenses for €10,50 8 years ago and they're worth 10x as much. But not anymore I guess because I like wearing them. https://www.vintageframescompany.com/products/emmanuelle-khanh-6485-gp16 According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found real Chanel ones for €1,50 in a bin at a thrift store, 90's Gaultier for €4 on Ebay and Cazals for €15 bucks just because the sellers spelled the brand name wrong and had no clue they were vintage designer. The last few years it's harder to find them for cheap because Gaga and other people really set a trend wearing vintage and 'unusual' sunglasses. People used to look at me weird when I wore my Molly Millions out, but not anymore. And because more edgy vintage designs weren'f popular at the time, there weren't replicated often. Sadly these days there's so many fakes around. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
