Last weekend we were at Vision Expo East, the optical convention of the season hosted at New York City's Jacob Javitz convention center. It's HUGE! Every frame line to lens manufacturer to lab equipment company shows there. If it's new, it's there! For someone like me who lives and breaths optical fashion, it is an absolute paradise! We walked miles and rows of frame vendors and designers searching for the perfect fit for Eye Candy. As if the Javitz isn't big enough, there is also a loft a couple of blocks away that is super private and holds some of the most cutting edge in hand-made fashion eyewear ever. We definitely found what we were looking for! So what's hot this season you ask? Well, you are going to have to stop in Eye Candy and see for your self, but I can let you in on a couple little industry secrets. BIG and beautiful, translucent fresh colors, layers of acetate and throw-back designs are just a few. Stop in Eye Candy and see what's arriving daily!
While at the show we also saw Pittsburgh's own and most innovative lens and frame company, Eyenovate. They had a very large booth and I was lucky to get a picture with one of the company's lens professionals.
