I've never counted actually, I've got better things to do If I had to guess I'd say around 150, although I only wear a couple of pairs myself. That's a mixture of designs I like but would never wear, vintage pairs collected for design inspiration / technical knowledge, samples from factories and brands, an "archive" of models I've designed, etc. |

Dropped my ray ban cats last week and one of the lenses has been chipped, also one of the arms got bent or something is twisted as they don't sit right. Can this be sorted at the optician, or should I just bin them and get some more? |

The hinge has probably "pulled" within the acetate upon impact. An optician may be able to reset it in its correct position. Alternatively, Premiere Optical have a repair service. For the lens, one of these sites may have them (quote from a previous question):
Try these sites: http://eyewearrescue.com/index.php/mail-order-parts/buy-ray-ban-lenses.html http://www.sightdirect.co.uk/ray-ban-lens-service/ The cost / hassle may outweigh just replacing them though. |

Loads of collections have that kind of shapes at the moment. Of the better-known brands, have a look at Oliver Peoples Vintage O'Malley, Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck, Moscot Miltzen. Or there's also RVS by V, American Apparel, Anglo American and Retrospecs. |

Y'all really should just go and buy Dita's. I've pretty much not taken mine off since they arrived. I'm seriously thinking of getting the optical version of the Grandmaster II to replace my Deacon's. |

Anyone able to ID these: Can't ID those specific ones, but Raen Optics have a couple of similar styles (the Volta in particular). That photo is from the 2011 Golden Globes if that helps you in your search. He was wearing Karl Lagerfeld KL718S for the 2012 Golden Globes, which is of no use to you whatsoever |
