Smart girls finish first


While each season brings a new wave of accessories to covet, it's not every show's accoutrements that change how we see altogether. But the bespectacled beauties stalking Yigal Azrouël's catwalk certainly caught our eye. Oversized black plastic à la Buddy Holly updated with the slightest aviator-inflected softness, these glasses single-handedly had editors buzzing about a brainy-chic style revival—what, after all, could be sexier than a woman with intellect worth flaunting? And while Azrouël's not licensing eyewear just yet (though should a petition be circulating, pass it right here), this is one runway trend that works all year 'round. So go find some frames that suit your face, hit Azrouël's Meatpacking District shop for some new spring threads, and let the looks of envy begin.
