Linda Farrow, the pioneer behind Yoko Ono's trademark wraparounds and eyewear wholesaler for major brands (including Pucci, Balenciaga, and Sonia Rykiel in the late '70s and '80s), is back with a vengeance. Since 1970, in collaboration with her optician husband, Farrow has designed and produced hundreds of styles for her own collection and for others. IN 2003 when her son, Simon Jablon, decided to pick up the trade for himself, he opened her warehouse in London's Islington area to discover more than 1,000 pairs of vintage sunglasses in pristine condition. And with that, Farrow's fierce design sensibility was recharged. Linda Farrow Vintage was back. Today Linda Farrow Vintage works with the highest echelons of the fashion brigade: Matthew Williamson, Luella, Sophia Kokosalaki, Dries Van Noten, Erdem, Chloe and Henry Holland, to name but a few.
