Linda Farrow

Linda Farrow is a London luxury eyewear house founded in 1970 by fashion designer Linda Farrow, one of the first to treat sunglasses as a fashion object rather than a functional product. Her avant-garde frames were worn by Yoko Ono and produced for houses including Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. Production stopped in the 1980s–90s until her son Simon Jablon relaunched the label in 2003 as Linda Farrow Vintage, stocked by Browns and Harvey Nichols. Jablon still owns and creatively directs the brand, which builds sculptural acetate and titanium frames with gold-plated detailing, plus designer collaborations.
