Selected by Vincent de GoedeIn 'Eyes of Gold', we invite some of our favourite tastemakers with a golden eye to select three works from the Bisou collection. Each guest explains their choices and shares how these pieces might live together in their space.
For the latest edition of the series, we invited Vincent de Goede who owns Vincent Optiek, the best eyewear store in the Netherlands. A sharp selection of the finest independent brands, I’ve been a loyal customer for years.
Vincent and I share roots in skateboarding. He also came up through graffiti, graphic design and punk rock, and that background still runs through everything he does. Then there’s his car collection, around ten of them, out of this world. Real driver’s cars, plus a soft spot for the misunderstood and slightly weird ones.
In this portrait Vincent wears his own Vincent Optiek merch, with ‘Schele’ across his shirt and sliders. Dutch for cross-eyed, and a mild insult you’d shout across the street. Hey, schele! A high-end eyewear store with merch that still swears a little.
Typical Vincent.
