Many years ago, the Italian designer Fupete and I collaborated on an issue of the magazine I was editing at the time, STU, his intricate art direction giving space and life to the cacophony of illustrations and photography bursting from its pages. The guy is one hell of an art director, and a brilliant designer as well, his latest work revealing his well-developed sense of shape and texture, which meshes seamlessly with his subtle use of color gradients.

Now I know what you’re thinking. This Australian summer you’re going to see the wayfarer style ripped-off and ruined by flouro festival wearers all over the country. But these babies aren’t just for show. Handmade by one of Italy’s most prestigious factories, using Zeiss lenses, they’re a far cry from the flimsy market numbers you’ll catch the masses wearing. With the wayfarer style picking up where the aviator left off, get ready to hear a lot more from Super. Creators of Italy’s Pig magazine, Sean Beolchini and the Beckerman brothers are the team behind this eyewear brand, and responsible for the recent retro shade revival. We’re loving the cream and black combo, but you can take your pick from Super’s palette of cool colours and designs.
