With Lady Gaga wiping the board at the Brits and the film world awash with Oscar and Bafta talk, our thoughts turn to a review of who we would give IGC Gongs to, if we had the chance to devote ourselves to such a spectacle…..

Award for Stunning Sunglass Wear – It has to be the great Victoria Beckham, with as many pairs of sunnies as she has Birkins. We love Victoria and her endless hunger for fashion, never afraid to change her look and what she looks through….

Award for Cool Specs Wear – Colin Firth naturally, delicious and sexy in his new film A Single Man. Any fashion icon that promotes eye wear is an inspiration to us speccy four eyes, and we always appreciate great spex!

Award for Best Collection – Christian Dior, for his delicious detailing and exquisite scattering of bling on his ladies frames. Jewellery for the face indeed, even worn by one or two of you with no prescription!

Award for Cool Italian Style – Gucci stunned us with their chic men’s wear, classic lines, cool detail, always on trend. A pleasure to wear and to admire.

Award for the Coolest Spec Case – Giorgio Armani, not content with clean lines, smart details, and super sexy understated style, he even has to produce am amazing  spec case! With tactile material and curves that don’t quit, this case is as desirable as one of his suits.

Award for Services to Economical & Accessible Eyewear – us of course! We offer a fab range of inexpensive but excellent frames, and are major suppliers of varifocals over the net. Hurrah to the IGC – cheap is the new expensive and it’s all thanks to us!
