He wears vintage frames during the day and admits he’s worn them to bed. Bold claims that a vintage sunglasses novice like Corey Hart could never make.
Aside from being a highly respected vintage t-shirt aficionado Corey Shapiro’s main focus of vintage expertise lies above the torso. When the demand for vintage t-shirts erupted in the mid 00′s Corey set his sights set on the vintage eye wear niche. Currently his business known as the Vintage Frames Company has become popular amongst celebs of all persuasions, movie stars, hip hop artists and anyone with a fetish for old frames.
His website describes his operation as an eye wear consulting firm and despite all his online activity he has managed to keep his sales tactics old school. Armed with custom briefcases full of frames he adds a personal touch by making a large portion of his sales directly with clients. This of course means he has to travel all over the world, endure beautiful weather, visit homes of the elite and frequent exclusive night spots. Poor guy.
If you’re a vintage t-shirt enthusiast and you don’t own a small collection of vintage shades you may need to get your head eyes examined and Corey will gladly accommodate you.
