my name is Cory Shapiro and I am the
founder of the vintage frames company we
are the world’s leading distribution
company of designer vintage sunglasses
with fashion trends focusing more on the
past people often overlook the
importance of finding the perfect shades
to complete their vintage look hi I’m
Veronica Lodge mojo comm and today Corey
Shapiro of vintage frames company is
showing us how what makes something
vintage according to Canada in the u.s.
anything that’s over a hundred years old
in fashion terms normally people
consider that it’s anything that’s over
ten years old now you often fit
celebrities can you tell us who they are
we’ve worked with Rihanna we work with
the roots DJ Jazzy Jeff
Pharrell puffs I mean jay-z often once
we know that we have a client who trusts
and wants us to be fitting them as we
pick up glasses we will contact them and
let them know that we have a style that
we think is appropriate for them or fill
wish lists based on what their requests
are what’s the price range when you buy
vintage shades generally vintage stuff
is either a lot more expensive or a lot
cheaper in the case of our business
where they are pristine unworn our
glasses generally retail from about 400
to 25,000 now you mentioned that this
collection has never been worn before
how did you get started we started
buying over huge huge factories and
warehouses we picked through enormous
stocks for what we wanted to market and
then we took the rest and worked in
conjunction with the Canadian government
to provide it to third world countries
or to doctors that were going to third
world countries who actually has
something special to show us today right
you’d probably be the first one to see
it actually this is our model with kazow
the red version of the
world famous because alanine 51 my
grandfather gave me his gold cos alanine
51 and that was kind of this my glass
that I wore and it became my statement
piece if you will
cos Al and I did a limited edition 50
piece run and you guys are really the
first to see this model we’re gonna try
on five very different styles so the
first one is super classic it’s a glass
that will never go out of style by
Christian Roth many people wear it super
bold sides very sophisticated for a
vintage glass this is a Nina Ricci glass
Nina Ricci is famous for Jackie O is
Claus that’s cute too
this is a rather iconic vintage
Christian Dior with the butterfly sides
the beveled lens which is super hard to
do these days that’s really nice
this may be one of my favorite glasses
it’s one of the most iconic glasses it’s
a West German made cos al 867 the glass
is asymmetrical many companies have
copied it but the quality of the Casal
is just unnatural it’s my favorite brand
it enhances your vision at night also
some people wear their sunglasses at
night this is a vintage butterfly
Christian’s your Rihanna wears it also
right now Lady gaga
it’s a very well-made frame but it’s
very delicate another statement glass
that’s about the glass not really the
way FS do to all the glasses are nice it
just depends on what type of statement
you’re trying to make I have one for all
the different pairs of shoes I wear
Kanye has one for the different pairs of
shoes he wears depends how how much you
really want to get into it
