<p>The <a href="http://colab.com.au/">Colab</a> range of eyewear brings a selection of individual designers and artists together. Colab facilitates the artists own design into production. There is no constraint, no rules to follow, no target market to appease. </p>
<p>Styles are limited to 1000 pairs worldwide.</p>
<p>Seasonally, Colab will invite new individuals and groups to create a range that mirrors their own personal artistic mentality into eyewear.</p>
<blockquote><p>There is nothing as boring as fashion that is mass-produced, hashed, rehashed and just trash. We roll out a blank canvas and let our guest professors drop art with the Colab science of production.</p></blockquote>

On my night time flight back to SF from Amsterdam, I noticed that the lights from cities were making the clouds glow. Really spectacular and ethereal &#8211; it was really seeing the impact of urban environments from a different perspective. Each glow or squiggle represents one town or city!
