Eyes on Fremont would like to wish everyone a happy 1st day of Summer. We think it’s about time. If you get bored on this lovely sunny day come challenge EOF to a game of bean bag toss. The custom glasses, board will be in use most sunny days this summer, if you miss it today.
Well lookie lookie what we have here, big arrival of colorful French plastics. It may look like a lot of frames but these will go fast…
Apologies in advance. There have been quite a few frame arrivals, from the New York show this year, that had not been posted here. So here’s a selection of new arrivals over the past few weeks that you may find interesting.
Lively colorings in some great plastic shapes:

New modern looking plastics (we love this tomato red!):
New frames today. Really beautiful French (really French) made Zyls, along side some tasteful, modern, matte finished metals.
Thought you might want to know 🙂
As we all know vintage eye wear is pretty big right now. Chances are if you have looked at very many vintage frames, you have probably seen little shield pins in the shape of a V. That V stands for Victory Optical. Founded in the 40’s Victory Optical was one of the largest optical manufacturers in the US.
Fast forward to present day…Bill Marfuggi, the Grandson of Vincent Salierno– Founder of Victory Optical, has resurrected the company. The great part about this? You can now get authentic vintage frames, made from the original blueprints of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, but made of fresh new (not 50 year old) materials.
Ranging from really great classic horn rims to cat eyes, that are REALLY cat eyes, to some outstanding sunglasses, there is quite a bit of range in the line. Below our frame guru Bill is wearing his new Victory frames, and looking pretty darn good!
This frame is the Roger Fanny, and yes we just posted Susan wearing it in purple here. But it just looks SO GOOD. This green is hot to say the least, and yes, Leah has the right type of personality to wear this frame correctly.
