The Man Behind the Frames Opens His Doors in Los Angeles

Jérôme Mage, the designer whose Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses have earned a devoted and faintly obsessive following, has let Vanity Fair into his home in Los Angeles. Elise Taylor sat down with him there, and the subject was not the eyewear so much as the house itself, and how the same unruly, musician's sensibility that shapes his frames has been brought to bear on the rooms where he actually lives. It is a rare look at the private side of a man whose work is usually seen only on other people's faces. For anyone whose own pair rides along for the drive down South Ocean, it is worth knowing that the taste behind them is lived in, not just sold.
