Nostalgia 099 Farishta



Glasses: Viennaline, 1970's
[L: -4.00 / R: -5.00]

Another long forgotten "Waterlooplein" treasure.

Nostalgia 098 Farishta



Glasses: Rodenstock (Celia), 1980's
[L=R: -5.00]

Nostalgia 097 Farishta



Glasses: Jean Lafont, late 1980's
[L: -8.50 / R: -6.50]

Nostalgia 096 Farishta



Glasses: Silhouette 1200, made in 1985
[L: -3.25; c-2.50 o / R: -7.00; c-1.00 o]

Another pair with a major difference in strength between both lenses. In spite of the fact that her own prescription of minus six is halfway both lenses, Farishta produced a pleasing and above all, natural portrait. There is no way of telling that these are not her own glasses.

Nostalgia 095 Farishta



Glasses: Yves St. Laurent, 1980's
[L: -6.25; c-1.00 h / R: -5.50; c-1.00 h / bif add 2.25]

Another giant pair of glasses, this time from Germany. Not featured in any photo shoot since Farishta put them on the map.

Nostalgia 094 Farishta



Glasses: Saphira, 1980's
[L: -6.00 / R: -4.50; c-0.50 h]

Another almost forgotten pair, acquired in Austria. Farishta always saw the fun of trying out some crazy frames. The lenses gave her perfect vision in the left eye and a bit of a blur in the right eye.

Nostalgia 093 Farishta



Glasses: Gan Aimh, 1980's
[L=R: -4.50; c-0.50 h]

These glasses with straight arms were acquired in Switzerland. The style is similar to Christian Dior but the absence of their logo indicates that the frame is a cheaper alternative.
