Peter Sellers definetly knew how to make the most out of wearing eyewear. His trademark black frame eyeglasses always added that final touch of class to some of his film characters and ensembles.

An impressive documentary that combines unseen footage with exclusive interviews and of course George's music.

Below a photo that shows some pieces from Missoni's 1988 Spring/Summer collection which capture one's attention not only by their intricate patterns, but also because of their bright and pastel colors.

Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs, one of the most brilliant minds in History, passed away on October 5, 2011. Jobs besides being the mastermind behind Apple was a genius and poet of our time. His talent was comparable to that of the likes of Edison, Guttenberg, Graham Bell, Marconi, and Einstein.
The legacy of Steve Jobs is not limited only to Macs, Ipods, and Ipads; it goes beyond that. His quotes full of wisdom will continue inspiring many for the upcoming decades.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Montgomery Clift: Summer meets Fall
Montgomery Clift is shown below wearing a very simple, basic, and functional early Fall ensemble. He paired a thin striped t-shirt with what appears to be a shirt or a very light cotton jacket, rolled up pants, pattern socks, and mocassins.
All in all, this enemble includes pieces that could have been worn weeks before when it was still Summer, but with the help of some elements they were successfully transformed into "Fall-wear".

Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton: London Rain
Who said one must look sloppy, wet, and unstylish on a rainy day? Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton proved the opposite to this while strolling through the streets of London on a rainy Summer day in the 60s. Class, elegance, and style at their finest.
