POP LEGEND

Renowned l.a.Eyeworker emeritus, Ruth Handel, gives martini-strength frame fabulousness at the book signing for Fred Hayman: The Extraordinary Difference (penned by our lovely friend Rose Apodaca) at the splashy new Caulfield's restaurant at the Thompson Hotel in -- where else? -- Beverly Hills . . . this is the story of Giorgio! after all!

The soiree deets are yours to explore here and here. And if you're ready to bop Ruth's style, you can bet the coat and bracelets are vintage treasures, so good luck. The eyewear, however:

IN IT TO QUINN IT

With their eyes on this season's affection for all things be-spotted and polka-dotted, our friends at Vision Monday could not ignore the sweet sensation of l.a.Eyeworks' Quinn.

If the cherry/grape flavor above looks tasty, your tastebuds will tremor for tangy orange:

 
Confection perfection!

CAPTURE THE RAPTURE

 
Just like Greg Gorman did in his smoldering glam portrait of Debbie Harry!

Debbie's wearing a frame from the treasured Pluto series -- milled aluminum with anodized finishes in sizzling magenta, electric green, and neon lime. Interstellar innovation.

 
 
 

Before your orbit goes into overdrive, sorry to say the Plutos have left the solar system into the universe of legend and memory. If you still have one, you are a true vintage vanguard!

FRAME OF THE WEEK | MAGPIE

 

Frame fanciers are flocking to butterfly shapes, and Magpie's got a sensational set of wings! How to spot Magpie in the wild? Just observe the parade of plumage, from sensational jewel tones to sophisticated patterns to a very special sparkler we call Night Glitter. Prepare for a swarm of compliments.

 

FRAME OF THE WEEK | TWO FRESNO

In 1986, Halley’s Comet zoomed close to Earth, and l.a.Eyeworks created a trendsetting buzz in the optical world when it introduced the model Fresno with a sun clip. The look became immediately iconic. For Fresno’s 25th birthday, l.a.Eyeworks introduces Two Fresno, updating the chassis in lightweight titanium while maintaining classic metallic finishes and details like coined patterning on the frame’s edges.

The original Fresno, and other classically cool frames with clips can be seen on Schwarzenegger, Anthony Delon and Jean-Hughes Anglade in l.a.Eyeworks' legendary ad campaign, shot by Greg Gorman.

   

FRAME OF THE WEEK | QUINN

 

This cat has claws! Quinn commands attention in a collection of both bright colors, and subdued combinations. A visual sensation, Quinn purrs with perforated steel layered over juicy acetates for an effect that combines style and glamour with unexpected twists of color. Fashionistas have been pawing over this beautifully modern take on the retro cat-eye design. Meow!

FRAME OF THE WEEK | IMPERIOLI

Set your sights on making a statement in an imperial fashion, with l.a.Eyeworks' new frame Imperioli. Featuring perforated overlays of stainless steel over luminous acetates in a true melding of materials, Imperioli packs a graphic punch. This innovative and bold frame arrives with a splash in five unique styles and is sure to become a crown jewel in any wardrobe!

FRAME OF THE WEEK | TUBA

Toot your horn with l.a.Eyeworks! Tuba has been playing to both the fashion and celebrity crowds, trumpeting its own full-bodied acetate frame. Orchestrated for the bold, the beautiful, and the adventure seeker in all of us, Tuba's combination of style, color, and texture is pitch perfect.
