If you haven’t noticed, then you should probably get your eyes checked; coz fashionable eyewear is the new key accessory. Seen on the likes of Kanye, Cudi, and Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship—fancy lenses give any outfit a pop of attitude ranging from playful and quirky to sleek and chic.

Fashion eyewear has been around for many years—see Gucci, Tom Ford, et al—but only recently has general interest really been hyped. At the recent Capsule Trade show in New York—an event that gathers some of the most innovative and promising designers along with a bunch of other quirky finds—London eyewear line Cutler and Gross’s spring/summer collection made an immediate impact.

Their designs are exemplary and they focus on very sculptural frame construction, very fresh silhouettes, but with very obvious classical influences. They have an array of designs, from mod to preppy. Both sunglasses and regular glasses are available in many different colors and styles.

The brand has been worn by the likes of Victoria Beckham and the Olsens and continues to be a favorite among various people of all backgrounds. In production for over 40 years now, Cutler and Gross is established for their attention to detail and superior quality. With original and hip designs that go beyond the norm, their success comes with no surprise.

Boasting of the ability to blur the lines between conservative and avant garde, Cutler and Gross is a stellar choice for that perfect pair of specs. -GIO DIONISIO
