The fashion world is a constant resurge of past trends and style notes making their way back into the spotlight. Eyewear is seeing smaller frames and more classic looks heading to the faces of eyewear lovers. This is especially true for GenEYE, taking cues from the past and opting for retro and vintage looks. We’ve gone old school with a classic black and white photo shoot that highlights old school style with new school Millennials.

Indefinably Good

We’re working on a name for this shape. Any thoughts? Care to give it a try? You could be famous. As for the frame… in our minds it already is.

Parallel Lines

Interested in that frame-in-a-frame detailing but looking for it to be subtle and sleek? How about a deft trick with eyewear’s signature mainstay of crystal? It adds light and a calm sense of… reflection. The strong stance comes from the style’s proud full-length upper brow bar.

Modern Man

A few years ago 20/20 did a Special Edition called Modern Man. Done today THIS Teka would be a star in that agenda. So… We dare to say THIS: Perfect men’s frame no matter which gen you call your own.

You Say You Want an Evolution

A P3 braid intertwined with a relatively quiet CatEye defines new directions without shouting from a master of style with status.
