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… 🙂
Eyes on Fremont Collection’s Frame of the Week: Meet “The Troll in Blackish”
This week we present one of our fave tributes to a very special Fremont Landmark:
THE TROLL IN BLACKISH
We wanted this model to be the quintessential masculine frame, the ideal boxy square-rim in a color more reminiscent of “typical Seattle day” than the classic black you would expect. It’s the everyday, any-way-you-want-to-wear-it frame style that looks great on dudes or gals, in a clear set or as sunglasses (maybe you recall Ross, wearing “The Troll” in a tinted sunglass a few weeks back). Very much like the Fremont Troll’s presence in Fremont, this popular frame model has some real staying power.

The Fremont Troll is our neighborhood’s pride & joy– it is one of the most visited attractions of Seattle. It was erected in 1990 by a group of 4 Seattle artists who submitted the concept to a contest held by the Fremont Arts Council in order to help re-vamp the area around the Aurora Bridge, which is built upon part the lower Fremont area.

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.
