Eyes of Faith Debuts Not of This World Collection
|
Wearer: Those aged 13 to 30, but the collection includes a frame to fit every face, age and style, according to the company.
Specifics: Seven ophthalmic styles.
Selling Points: “Although the NOTW brand is edgy, the rich metallic logo treatments and variety of shapes create the perfect combination of stand-out style and classic wearability," said Jim Schneider, Eyes of Faith co-founder and president. Consistent with the brand's mission to connect biblical scripture to apparel and accessories, all seven style names are inspired by the scripture printed inside each temple. Styles Believe, Power, Faith, Strength, Love and No Worries are available in three uniquely-named color options, and Forgiven is available in two fashion-forward, striped fades. The collection will be distributed to retail optical and represented with point-of-purchase counter cards that spotlight the highly-recognizable logo.

Charmant Releases Trussardi A/W 2012 Optical Styles
More Images |
Specifics: New ophthalmic styles for both men and women.
Selling Points: This fall, Trussardi women's optical styles are heavily influenced by several upcoming trends including an on-going passion for light and translucent lacy looks and an expansion of this year's love of geometric cut-outs, mesh and other holey fabrics. Color-wise, new autumn reds including pillar box or rich burgundy, fresh purple, natural golden fall tones and ever-classic black are introduced. The Trussardi men's opticals look to ultra-hip, oversized square models with well-defined frames and color selections like Havana, light brown and gun. A smooth all over acetate frame or natty mix of marble structured acetate provide a glossy, groomed finish. Product excellence and an impeccable attention to detail are expressed through a high-tech metal spring hinge embossed on the inside with the Trussardi logo. The new imagery for the season, shot by acclaimed photographer Albert Watson, features the men’s style TR12736 and the women’s style 12510.
