Mark Mothersbaugh frequently thumbed his nose at authorities wearing goofy glasses (check out the cover of 1982 album Oh No! It’s Devo.) Years later, the music innovator worked on his own line of eyewear with Baumvision. Called Mothersbaugh by Mothersbaugh + Baum, the light eyewear features stainless steel like frames. It sports styles with names such as the Mutato and Francesca. On Nov. 19, the Ron Robinson boutique at Fred Segal threw a soiree for the new eyewear line. To quote a Devo lyric, it's perfect for saying say "Peek-A-Boo/I Can See You."
