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.

New Cutler & Gross Collection

SPIRIT OF LEMPICKA”
 
Cutler and Gross Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection is inspired by the 1930’s fashionable painter Tamara de Lempicka. The creative team at Cutler and Gross loves her use of strong colours and the way she‘lit’ her subjects and herself, which is a form of ‘soft’ and ‘synthetic’Cubism that summed up the fashionable and the sensual side of the Art Deco movement in the 1930’s.The strong silhouette of the models in green, red,purple and black create a great contrast against the depressed 30’s industrial buildings of New York which is a recurring theme through out our campaign.

The new collection reflects the mood and style of the period;Precise and sensual in feel and texture. Here, mixing metal with acetate,curving and streamlining to recreate the utmost luxurious glasses with the Art Deco essence and in the true spirit of Lempicka.Key colors for women; gold with fire orange, bakelite blue and ruby red set the tone..For men; ocean blue with silver metal, Deco brown laminated with crème acetate and of course the classic and favorite blacks are here to stay.
