Persol's Obsessions a Success

It has become the eyewear sensation of the New York City glamor set. It's the Persol Magnificent Obsessions Exhibition at the Museum of Moving Images (548 West 22 St., New York City). "The first in a series of three exhibitions, Persol Magnificent Obsessions: 30 stories of craftsmanship in film, uncovers the first 10 of 30 stories of obsessive craftsmanship within filmmaking. The exhibits offer the opportunity to view rarely seen artifacts from some of cinema’s most iconic films, as well as behind the scenes research notes, sketches, video interviews and materials used in the development process by some of the world’s greatest filmmakers," goes the writeup on MovingImage.Us.

According to the museum's website, "Persol eyewear has always enjoyed a close affinity with cinema,and has been center stage for some of cinema's most iconic characters and and on-screen moments from the 1960s to the present day such as La Dolce Vita, The Thomas Crown Affair and Casino Royale."
