A Gift through Vision

Sheila Vance, the internationally renowned eyewear designer and founder of Sama Eyewear, works with her husband, Ross Vance, towards one simple goal – to help as many children as they can. inMAGAZINE talks to the designer about her eyewear and her views on life. DESIGN ELEMENTS Loved by many royal members and Hollywood celebrities like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sama Eyewear designs the world’s finest luxury fashion eyewear. Sheila Vance’s specially designed sunglasses are featured in dozens of blockbuster Hollywood films including “The Hours”, “Mission: Impossible III”, and “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”, and have helped build many iconic characters in Hollywood. All eyewear collections of Sama are handmade in Japan with the highest quality materials and most advanced production techniques as the designs are complicated and need precise execution. The uniqueness of Sama eyewear lies upon its quality, in which one of their newest collections, ‘Heart of Gold’, uses 24-carat gold and 18-carat white gold frames with Swarovski crystals. The company is also introducing a new edition to their ultra-premium luxury diamond sunglasses collection, which is made of the finest diamonds with a high-quality jewellery setting. “Our eyewear is so distinct and unique, we do not need a logo to emphasise ourselves,” Vance smiles. WOMEN VS MEN Designing sunglasses for men and women should not be the same. Vance says designing for women has fewer limitations as women wear vast colour combinations from fuchsia to charcoal to peony; they also wear an abundance of elements from snakeskin to titanium to feminine elements like feathers and pearls. For men, she focuses on masculine shapes, elements and colour combinations with distinctive and bold features. Vance summarises her own designs in three words: romantic, hope and luxury. Among other forms of accessories, why did Vance choose to specialise in eyewear design? From the moment she needed to wear prescription glasses, she decided she had to design fashionable eyewear. Vance believes eyewear is the must-have item in the world of fashion. “Eyeglasses finish the look!” she asserts. A pair of appropriate eyeglasses is an effective way to change a look. One can be younger, older, sexier or more mature with the right pair of glasses. For Vance, she has over 20 pairs of eyeglasses in her car, which allows her to easily create a new look for different occasions. With her already successful designs, Vance’s proudest achievement so far is when she sees many celebrities and other influential VIPs wearing Sama among the countless other brands on the market. Vance routinely attends and organises fashion shows in major markets as Paris, New York, Dubai and Italy - her next step? “I am hoping to organise a runway show to properly show looks to the elite in Hong Kong.” Store: LensCrafters

Volkswagen XL1 Concept

The Volkswagen XL1 Concept is the car of the future. It looks futuristic enough, with its lack of a rear view mirror and sleeky design, complete with hidden rear wheels. Heck, it even looks like the Jetsons' family car. But what truly makes it the car of the future isn't its fancy gulf wing doors or Bugatti-like body kit. What makes it the car of the future is its outrageously green mileage. With just 0.9 litres of diesel, the machine will take you a whole 100 kilometres. That's about 10 times the average car.

Remember that song that goes "girls don't like boys/ girls like cars and money"? Well usually this isn't true. Usually... This might be an exception though; sexy, functional and environmentally-friendly.

2011 Superbowl Ads

The Superbowl was this past weekend, and although Green Bay brought home the gold, there's a wealth of laughs in the Superbowl commercials.

These 30 second to a minute spots sell for at least US$ 3 million, but regulars like Doritos, Budweiser and E-Trade come back every year with bigger and better ads aimed at your funny bone, and commercial time during the big game has become the Holy Grail of comedic and marketing genius.

My favourite this year is Volkswagen's Darth Vader commercial.

Spoiler alert! The idea is simple: kid dressed as Darth Vader tries out 'the force' but can't seem to work his jedi powers. Dad comes home in the new Volkswagen Passat, and just for kicks, humours the kid, who can't believe that he just used his mind to power the Passat. It's great; very very funny.

La Blogotheque

If you're stuck on indie music, then you probably worship La Blogotheque. The French site and main man Vincent Moon have revolutionized the idea of the music video, by bringing bands into the streets and out of their comfort zones for stripped down performances, all caught by the La Blogotheque team's talented bunch of sound and camera folk.

One of their recent features is Southern California band Local Natives, who are hot on the heels of their Japan tour, and are currently playing in the travelling St. Jerome's Laneway Festival in Australia.

A bunch of good-looking guys, sleek camera work, amazing music and a stunning view of the streets of Paris; what more could you ask for?

Lanvin F/W 2011/12

Lanvin puts a modern twist on the cowboy look in their latest Fall/Winter collection. Wide-brimmed hats, interesting outerwear and turtlenecks worn under collared shirts all contribute to the 'wild wild west' feel of the collection, and intricate tailoring is perfectly paired with rugged elements like boots and leather gloves for the sexy, dangerous James Bond vibe.
