One of the best brands going these days is Barton Perreira. Basic story is that the lead designer and former president of Oliver Peoples left over something to do with the Luxottica merger (I might be mistaken) and launched the new luxury brand, named for Bill Barton and Patty Perreira. In a little less than 3 years' time they've come to rival *any* brand out there in terms of quality and desireability. I'm a huge fan of the company, and possibly my favorite release thus far is the Gonzales.
Basically a smaller, squared off aviator, the frame features some interesting detailing on the upper brow bar and temples, and features the only polarized lenses I've ever been able to wear without discomfort. I really like the edginess of the frame; its lines almost make it look like a prototype that hasn't been smoothed out for production.
