 View Larger Image |
Wearer: Customers seeking sun lenses in eyewear, snow and moto goggles and need to wear a prescription as well.
Specifics: The Rx Happy Lens is digitally surfaced and features a fully compensated design using position of wear measurements; single vision and progressive designs (Inscribe Sport 2) are available. The lens features a premium backside AR coating produced by iCoat.
Selling Points: “The primary purpose of a premium sunglass is to protect the wearer from the negative effects of the sun,” noted Jim Sepanek, executive vice president of Spy Optic. “Those who require a prescription can now enjoy the benefits of the Happy Lens with a digitally surfaced, fully compensated free-form design with a premium backside coating. The result is protection against all the bad rays, UV and shortwave blue light, while transmitting more of the good rays, those long wave blue light rays that provide a positive effect on circadian rhythm.”
The Rx Happy Lens is offered in polarized and non-polarized versions in Spy Optic’s complete line of sunglasses, snow and moto goggles. Base colors are bronze (brown), grey green; Spectra (dielectric coating) colors are blue, green, black, red, orange, gold, silver and pink.

Specifics: Rooted in innovation and tradition seeks to cultivate contrast where exaggeration is essential. Minimal Baroque’s sunglass collection celebrates the combination of creative experimentation and meticulous craftsmanship that each frame represents.
Selling Points: Giving new life to the flower and foliage motifs that grew wild in the Baroque period, Minimal Baroque draws inspiration from one of art history’s most exuberant eras. “Stylized plant life— acanthus leaves, laurel branches and palm fronds—are abstracted into scrolling garlands that bud into the defining curve of elegant sunglasses. In each of the three Minimal Baroque styles, ornate and intricate motifs of the past are refined into a single streamlined gesture,” the company said.
The collection is currently available on Prada.com, in Prada boutiques and independent opticians.
