...shades can attest, dark specs are an accessory rated as much for style as function. Cool hunters who find the usual arrangement of frames and lenses passé may find Belgian optician Theo's Meshes and Laces Collection an exciting alternative. A filigree of fine, highly malleable stainless steel wraps around the face, or can be worn atop the head as a diadem.

If Bud’s sponsored tournaments do actually happen, the company will face liability issues about as big as a hangover after playing Beirut with Steel Reserve. And second, Big Beer doesn’t realize that a major point to bond on with your teammates during Beirut games is the poor quality of the beer (usually Bud, Miller, or a cheaper offshoot). As much as they are orgies of booze-fueled competition, Beirut games are also...

To call these images arresting is to understate their ability to drag you on a bleak journey through the urban aridity of the mid-20th century. But steel yourself. If there's a current exhibition in London that can be fairly described as a must-see, it's this...
