Moscot Frames







The Grover – The Collection’s most creative frame, The GROVER hints of an Aviator but with a lot more attitude. Not a frame for the meek, The GROVER looks best on men with strong features – think chiseled jaw and other prominent manly facial features. Frames feature a Mazzucchelli acetate front with metal temples. Available in Brown or Grey.




The Winston – These frames are big – really big. Stately on men. Sexy on women. Angular and oversized, The WINSTON looks great on large round faces, or anyone who wants a tailored yet oversized look. Frames feature a Mazzucchelli acetate front with metal temples.




The Henry – This frame is based on The LEMTOSH silhouette, but slimmed down look with a thinner gauge and key-hole bridge that’s just a bit more business. Looks great on a square face. Frames feature a Mazzucchelli acetate front with metal temples.


Venerable New York City institution Moscot previews three new frames, available now exclusively from Moscot.com and the Moscot retail shops – a harbinger of its highly anticipated, redesigned and expanded Fall 2010/Winter 2011 Moscpt Spirit Collection, which will feature 20 styles in total and be launched at SILMO in Paris, September 2010.

These new styles – like the rest of the collection – leverage the company’s 95 years of expertise in eyewear, sensibility and downtown New York City heritage, reinterpreting classic design elements from the Moscot Originals Collection for a slightly more progressive, modern look. Each frame is constructed from a combination of metal and the finest Italian acetate – made by the fourth generation Mazzuchelli family – and feature the company’s new branded “M” on the temple tips.
