RETROSPECTIVE
London, Spectacles, and Half a Millennia.
Cubitts' first ever exhibition, in the charming St James's Market Pavilion on St Alban's Street, London. Celebrating the long history between London and spectacles, the exhibition is full of British icons, from a remake of the first ever pair of spectacles, to monocles and 'Supras', to lorgnettes and 'Windsors', to Michael Caine's favourite style of sunglasses.
