Customers around the Shop: Kevin S.
Here’s another fresh face wearing our last featured EOF frame, “THE TROLL”… but this iconic face may be a familiar one!
If you couldn’t already guess, here are a few hints:
Thanks, Kevin, for allowing us to revisit the nostalgic ’80’s for a sweet minute… 🙂
Customers Around the Shop: Adam J.
Adam turns up the volume with this vivid neon green/brushed silver combo look. A truly fearless yet, cool frame style!
Fresh in the shop: Pedal to the Metal- get moving with more color!
Here’s some new frame stock to pop off your Spring season! The recurring theme we are going to see in the upcoming months is brightly accented colorways:
 |
| fresh & versatile colorways in a refined masculine shape |
 |
| dual tone rimmed metals |
 |
| Semi-rim metals in contrasting primary or metallic colors make an impression while offering a more subtle presence than the full rim styles |
Customers around the Shop: The Welder Family!
Starr & Hack made picking up their new glasses a family affair. With their latest frames, they look like the picture-perfect, shining family! Well, except for Lil’ baby Welder, who seems slightly perturbed to not have a cool new pair of his own… hee hee.
Eyes on Fremont Collection’s frame of the week: Meet the Lenin in Terra cotta/charcoal
The Lenin in Terra Cotta/Charcoal
 |
| The coppery warm terra cotta is a sharp contrast to the cooler deep grey tones of the charcoal, creating a fresh balance of neutrals. |
The name of this model observes the ever polarizing art installment which occupies the corner of a major intersection in Fremont…
The Lenin statue is an infamous fixture, for better or for worse. It still generates heated debates to this day & draws attention to our eccentric neighborhood.

A blogpost on ARF- Artist’s Republic of Fremont adequately summed up the presence of the Lenin statue in quirky Fremont:
“One thing that is not lost on people is the fact that Lenin represents a tragically flawed system which persecuted and killed millions of people. There are many people more worthy of being cast in bronze, but Lenin ended up in Fremont. He is a profound reminder that art can outlive politics. If art is supposed to bring out emotion, this piece is successful in accomplishing just that. To that extent, a vistor coming across Lenin may find the statue is decorated. Sometimes lights grace the statue, sometimes it’s a red clown nose. It’s just the way things happen in Fremont, the Center of the Universe.”

Lenin gets “decorated” for many of the city’s festivities, such as Gay Pride weekend. |
