Back to the 80’s
The material decade is making a splashy comeback with vibrant colors; classic styles, including the return of Ray-Ban’s much-loved Wayfarer; new wave fashion-inspired graphic prints, and glam gold and chain link styles reinvented for a new millennium.
A Little Romance
For the modern woman, the watch words this fall are romantic and feminine brought to life with a sense of lightness, transparency and enduring glamour in soft colors and lacy, delicate filigree frames.
Making a Scene
Women chasing down an edgier, indie vibe are turning to butterfly and cats-eye frames in bold shades of orange, pink, green and purple. Both plastics and natural accents, like leather, wood, and horn detailing, are hot this season.
All Business
The retro chic ad execs of TV’s “Mad Men” have helped usher in the return of a sleek, traditional look for the professional male. Double bridges, tortoise, horn, black, brown, and silver frames epitomize the essence of this timeless, iconic sense of style.
Active Eyes
The summer Olympics put the focus on the latest generation of performance-driven eyewear which melds high tech functionality with high style. Super lightweight and wraparound frames, polarized and reflective lenses set the tone for fall. As for fun-in-the-sunwear, the mantra is big, bold and bright! New styles in sunglasses offer ample opportunity to make a statement while keeping the sun out of your eyes.
