@selimaoptique ’s iconic frames are officially available at Alex Mill Mercer Street!!!
In the 90s CBK walked into Selima’s shop and bought four frames—the exact ones we have now♥️♥️
(head to 77 Mercer to scoop a pair while they last)
Throwback Thursday!!!
“Women On The Verge“ Selima Optique catalog. (Short stories by me, Lena Viddo) starring so many of my and Selima’s personal friends, family and muses.
If we were hanging out back in the day, you are in this book!
As I like to do with my paintings, my photography aimed to mix the comedic and whimsical with beauty, sexiness & a bit of danger. As all of you know, I love me a femme fatale & deadly vixen!
I shot the project with my Pentax 67 medium format film camera at so many NYC locations
Including select spots in Chinatown, my West Broadway Loft, friend’s homes @obiebenz ,
Selima showrooms & Boutiques, @milkstudios
It was a blast and I laughed my way through the whole experience. Big thanks to all of my friends from my Hapkido community @wmac , to the Kung Fu @SifuChen wushu crew. So much gratitude to my painting studio muses and to our children for putting up with their crazy mothers!
Most especially big thanks to the Queen, darling of Fashion Selima.
I do miss our collaborations!

What a wonderful surprise: I came back from the hospital to find my client (and new bestie) Sahana at Bond with a beautiful cake she made for me. Wow!
Thank you my stunning @sahana_vij ❤️ for the beyond delicious cake. I had to fight with my team to get a piece (or two). Love and bisous 🥰
And for those of you who are going to tell me « you are wearing the same shirt »: yes, I know! It is my good luck shirt 😘

Happy and healthy 2026 my dear friends 💙
Sorry for not answering calls, texts, emails, WhatsApp’s, IG, LinkedIn, etc….but please know that I think of all of you and I love you ❤️
I feel totally overwhelmed with my health issues, business, four dogs and ONE cat.
I promise to make an effort to reply 🤓 after the Lunar New year.
Love et huge bisous 🩵💙🩵
Only in NYC can the backseat of your car turn into an eyewear museum and only at EYECON can this museum be brought to life!

Happy holidays and a merry Christmas eve eve to all of you beautiful, generous people. For everyone asking what I want this year, don’t worry—your love is, and has always been, enough of a gift for me... But... this lamp would look great on my desk <3
Bisous,
Selima
P.S. If you *must*, then I guess you can buy yourself some more glasses (or a beautiful piece from @bond07byselima ) because there’s no greater gift than seeing you dress well.
This is the perfect gift for me, for you and for everybody!
Not only are you helping the World by ordering these stunning frames instead of buying flimsy plastic disposable New Year’s glasses but you are also saving yearly trips to Walmart (or Amazon) as this is the Last Pair you will ever need.
Designed by the wonderful @deannabillyprojects (check all their creative and fun and insane projects: my favorite involves Vince and ElevenMadisonBark) and made to order by Selima Optique.
Feel free to DM me for any question you have….or to order 😘🤓
Happy Holiday season to everyone 💙🩵💙
“With Selima, every frame is a story, every collection a love letter to the people who shaped her world.”
