There's nothing more dashing than good eyewear, and this slick new boutique in Paddington's retail hub has it in spades. Onepointsevenfour has opened in the site previously occupied by Zambesi on Glenmore Road - the area of which has seen something of a revival recently, with Josh Goot set to open around the corner this weekend - and plays home to the eyewear collections of Alexander Wang, Kris Van Assche, Thom Brown and Dries Van Noten. And in paying homage to the notion of eyewear as an art form, many pieces are create from unique materials such as buffalo horn, 24-carat plated titanium and snakeskin. The man behind the store, Joshua Matta, brings with him industry experience of over 20 years, having co-designed eyewear for Sass & Bide, Akira and Zambesi.
