Eye Respect was born out of a desire to pay homage to the long and distinguished histories of English & Italian culture, style and standards of craftsmanship.

From our mutual obsessions with design  and quality comes a harmonious  understanding of “sprezzatura”; The effortless combination of style and attention to detail that are inherent in both cultures. This makes our approach to the personal aspects within our lifestyles refined and meaningful.

Referencing key landmarks in Anglo-Italian style, the collection is a reflection of  the exacting standards both cultures eschew. From the traditional to the contemporary, with a strong heritage influence, Eye Respect collections attract a broad selection of both traditional professionals and sub-cultured tribes.

Eye Respect frames are designed by hand and manufactured by hand. Our designs are conceived in London in the artisinal way, and then head to the region of Veneto in Northern Italy to our family – owned workshop that has been producing the finest acetate frames for 50 years. Each frame goes through more than 60 crafted stages to achieve the style and quality the we respect, represent and embrace.

Iconic Modfather Paul Weller did an intimate gig at John Varvatos to celebrate 10 years.

There is no bigger music fan in fashion than John Varvatos, who's turned that love into relationships with a number of rock stars, from Chris Cornell and Dave Matthews to Alice Cooper, all of whom have played outside of Varvatos' West Hollywood store. Last night, his newest model, Paul Weller, came in to the WeHo spot to help Varvatos celebrate his 10-year anniversary at the location.

Before the show, Varvatos introduced Weller as one of his biggest influences, both musically and in fashion. In an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year Varvatos said, "Paul has always been this super-cool, stylish guy, from the first time I saw him with the Jam in 1977 to today. He's probably one of the best-dressed, best-looking guys in rock & roll."

Perhaps fired up by Varvatos' continuous praise, Weller, who plays L.A.'s Greek Theater this Friday in his last U.S. show in 2012, led his three-piece band through an hourlong set at maximum volume for a celebrity crowd that included Jakob Dylan, Twilight's Jackson Rathbone and Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner of Velvet Revolver.

Opening with the Jam's "Running on the Spot," Weller worked in songs from all phases of his career, from the Jam and the Style Council to his solo work. The majority of the 17-song set came from his two most recent solo efforts, 2010's Wake Up the Nation and the current Sonik Kicks, with some of those standouts being "The Attic," "That Dangerous Age," a raucous "Wake Up the Nation" and the closer "Around the Lake."

For diehard Weller fans, there were some surprises, the most notable being the Jam's "Carnation" and "Start!" as well as "The Cost of Loving," the only selection from his Style Council days. Of course, for diehard Weller fans, the set list didn't matter nearly as much as seeing such an influential figure in the intimate setting of a storefront.

In The United Kindom, Ireland, Spain and The Netherlands, John Varvatos is available from Eye Respect Ltd.

About AM Eyewear

For  as  long  as  he  can  remember  Simon  (Kumar)  Ponnusamy  has  sought  out  frames
which  pushed  and  redefined  what  was  fashionable  and  at  the  same  time  didn’t
become  so  popular  they  were  seen  on  every  face  he  passed.
The  irony  that  AM  Eyewear  sunglasses  are  regularly  spotted  on  everyone  from
hipster  kids  to  Lady  Gaga,  Beyonce,  Gwen  Stefani,  Rihanna,  Sienna  Miller  and  Jay  Z,
is  not  lost  on  Ponnusamy  -­‐  AM’s  Designer  and  Director.
From  its  inception  eight  years  ago  AM  Eyewear  has  evolved  from  a  cheeky  young
upstart  into  a  cult  brand  respected  around  the  globe.
AM  Eyewear  has  grown  its  reputation  both  in  Australia  and  internationally  through
its  commitment  to  cutting  edge  designs  crafted  from  the  highest  quality  materials.
Ever  since  the  first  five-­‐frame  collection  debuted  in  2003  Ponnusamy  has  been
unwavering  in  his  desire  to  combine  quality  with  individuality.
Each  new  collection  is  reflective  of  Ponnusamy’s  many  sources  of  inspiration.  From
his  fast-­‐paced  life  traveling  and  mingling  with  some  of  the  worlds  biggest  rock  stars
to  his  mother’s  collection  of  vintage  sunglasses  and  photos  from  her  days  in  the
fashion  industry.

Each  new  collection  is  reflective  of  Ponnusamy’s  many  sources  of  inspiration.  From

to  his  mother’s  collection  of  vintage  sunglasses  and  photos  from  her  days  in  the
fashion  industry.
“I  work  in  the  old,  organic  way,”  says  Ponnusamy.
“I  design  using  only  a  pad  and  pencil  in  order  to  feel  each  line  of  the  frame.  It  takes  a
lot  longer  than  using  a  computer  because  I’m  forever  erasing  and  then  remarking  the
page  until  I  get  it  right.  But  I  just  love  the  way  this  allows  the  frame  to  slowly  come
alive  as  I  get  to  know  every  line  intimately.
The  artisan  approach  continues  beyond  Ponnusamy  who  engages  master  craftsmen
to  carve  each  sample  out  of  a  solid  piece  of  acetate  much  in  the  same  way  an  old
sculptor  whittles  wood.

“Once  we’ve  perfected  the  master  copy  it  heads  to  the  production  workshop  where
each  pair  is  individually  handcrafted  for  up  to  14  hours,”  says  Ponnusamy.

The  evolution  of  each  AM  Eyewear  frame  continues  well  beyond  the  workshop.
Once  out  of  the  box  the  Italian  acetate  frames  mold  to  the  wearers  face  -­‐  much  in
the  same  way  as  a  bespoke  pair  of  leather  boots.

“People  make  these  frames,”  says  Ponnusamy.  “They  are  designed  by  hand,  crafted
by  hand,  polished  by  hand.  They  are  packed  by  hand  and  they  are  only  ever
complete  once  you  have  worn  them.”

Attitude.  Commitment.  Quality.
