Fresh in the Shop: Lasting Impressions

This spring trend is showing signs of detail that captivates without dominating the visage.

Check out these inspirational looks that have recently arrived: 

Contemporary & sharp metal frame designs
Surface pattern & textures create a dimensional effect

Fresh in the Shop: Some of the first spring eyewear trends, courtesy of Vision expo East!

This past week, we’ve been busy processing some of the new collections that have arrived from our recent trip to NY.  There’s a lot to come, with a wide variety of aesthetics to choose from.  From chunkier, bolder plastic styles to contemporary metal frame styles that have silk or wood inlay, there’s something to suit & inspire every desire.  We will do our best to post much of that right here, on the Eyes on Fremont blog. 

 BUT, the most advantageous thing to do in order to get first dibbs is stop into the Shop!

Here are some highlights from our first Italian frame shipment: 

Chunkier Plastics & crystal frames in polished or “matte finishes” such as these newbies! 

Primary colors in all different shapes


Stay tuned, there is some really exciting stuff to see in the next few days!

Here’s Mark in his two new sets of really awesome glasses.  
The vintage-inspired crystal-grey frame (above) is a sharp update that doesn’t stray from its retro-styled roots.
Mark, rocking his new sunglasses from the EOF Collection, “The Troll.”  He really does that style justice!

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

Fresh Spring Trend Alert: Cat-eyes in Confidant Colors


We’re seeing a pattern here: new stock from two of our favorite collections arrived and a dominant theme for the femme is the bold, colorful cat-eye.

Here are some notable styles we just added to our stock from french designer Carolyn Abram & spanish frame company Etnia:

Filao’s striking shapes are enhanced by their lively dual-tones 

Etnia’s wood-grain textures are vibrantly highlighted with contrasting pop color accents


Keep checking back, as we should be expanding our bouquet of perfect spring models to inspire your ideal updated look!
