How Long with Eyes on Fremont:
Bill is one of our most familiar faces around the shop- he’s been an integral team member since October 2006… just entering his 9th year! He’s a dedicated employee and will surely contribute to the EOF legacy for years to come.
Bill’s EOF “Specialty”:
He’s fine tuned to a high standard of fashion & will surely let you know what will (or won’t) “make the cut” style-wise! Bill also helps keep up the visual aesthetics of the Shop, checking the frame board and displays every day. Behind the scenes, he manages the instagram images and manages inventory receivables.
And what’s Bill’s cup of tea (or highball of whiskey):
When he’s not at EOF overseeing the details of the shop, Bill probably is making himself available at the hip-neighborhood watering holes, such as Pony on Capitol Hill- Rainier in one hand and Fireball in the other! Just a way to decompress from the bustle of the business…. 😉
He’s a man of distinct style and tends toward the edgy and never skimping on accessories- which is how glasses styling is a natural thing for him! Paris is Burning is his favorite go-to for movies on a mellow night in.

ANDY WOLF Eyewear walks the fine line between razor-sharp styling & contemporary appeal for a more effortless fashion-forward look. Add in the quality craftsmanship & finely handled construction, and behold- a covetable eyewear collection of exemplary value.
ANDY WOLF IS SMART, CHIC, AND COOL.
The collection stays ahead of the design game with its unique color palettes & innovative color/frame material combinations, but never strays from a balanced, versatile trend aesthetic.
Check out their intriguing website and follow their well- curated eyewear blog, its somewhat of an artistic odyssey with an editorial fashion feel (and one of our favorite glasses websites for inspiration).
Plus, they have a great vimeo video that gives an intimate view of how handcrafting their eyewear is a special process here:

Fall time is when a steady stream of the freshest models from Silmo Paris Expo arrive, and we have lots on their way!
One of the 1st vendors to hit the frame wall is a long time EOF staple collection, Conquistador.
Hans Joachim-Marwitz has been the owner/purveyor of Conquistador since 1970 and has a small design /sales team that is mostly made up of family members, including his sons. After over 4 decades, Hans still comes to the optical trade shows! His friendly, kind demeanor is part of what seals his long time relationships with return clients, like us. 🙂
We love his passion for traveling: it is something that keeps Hans inspired.
Check out his frame catalogue and website online which are modeled after his traveling photo albums:

The Conquistador collection maintains a contemporary styling with some fun color accenting & interesting detail, but present an overall fashionably versatile aesthetic.

The sassy cat-eye glasses look does Lisa REALLY WELL… this edgy shape w/a dual-tone front from Spectacle Eyeworks does the trick for a stunning fall look. This style looks amazing with her sharp bob hair cut!

The sun is always shining in Darci’s world… therefore, a great butterscotch P3 frame fitted with transitions photochromic lenses powers her through the ins & outs of daily life.
There’s an eye-catching warmth to her glasses and jewelry aesthetic here that we are really digging at the moment. 🙂
