styling: Channing Tatum

Today, we have our eyes on the men - namely Channing Tatum. We styled this image from the pages of GQ, and found some beautifully crafted frames in our store to complete his look.

"Dino" by Rolf Wood is made 100% from natural materials, including the hinges. This particular frame is hand crafted with both wood and stone. The color and quality are outstanding.

"Colombo" by Mykita Mylon is the frame line of the season. This sport-lux line makes all of their frames with 3D selective laser sintering (SLS) and ultrafine polyamide powder. The color selection is gorgeous and the fit is perfection.

The Tom Ford Frame in tortoise and black with the designers signature gold temple "T" is a classic. You can take this frame from the boardroom straight through to dinner.

All of these frames and more are currently available at SIGHT!  

styling: HILARY RHODA

Inspired by this image we found of model Hilary Rhoda on Vogue.com, we decided to do a little frame styling. Below, we chose three frames that both compliment Hilary's look and are right on trend for this season.

The first frame by La Font is "Greta". "Greta" has a classic cat-eye shape that's huge for Fall '13 and has been updated with crystals on each corner. Second, is a frame by Mykita Mylon "Ariane". Red is such a bold statement, especially when placed over piercing blue eyes like Hilary has. Lastly, is the "Hemi" frame by LA Eyeworks. The "Hemi" frame is a matte crystal and goes with everything and anything - the overall shape is flattering on most face shapes.

All three of these frame styles can be found at SIGHT, they also come in different colors. Let us style you too!

Such Style!

Impeccable Taste!

Recently, one of our fabulous patients updated her collection of eyewear. She picked out these three designer frames: David Yurman Sunglasses (DY079), SALT "Sylvie" frame in Yellow Jacket, and LA Eyeworks "Autoette" in a brown sparkle! Needless to say, the entire SIGHT team was in awe of the pieces she chose and we had to share them on the blog.

Mykita Mylon has arrived!

This month we had a visit from MYKITA MYLON. This high fashion and high function sport-lux eyewear line is beautifully designed, thought out, and well executed. Our wonderful rep Lyle sat with a few of our team members and educated us on the production process. In Mykita's own words we quote:

"The evolution of the MYKITA MYLON frames began with a production process that promised to revolutionise the history of manufacturing; Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) enables the creation of three-dimensional objects of any desired geometry without any tooling."

The frames are build up from an Ultrafine Polyamide Powder which is used with the laser sintering process. A 3D CAD model of the frame is created and its data transfers to the sintering machine. After sintering, the frame surface is white and very coarse. Mykita then uses their award-winning and patented process to finish the raw parts and finally they become MYKITA MYLON frames. Not only are their frames phenomenal, but so are their sunglass lenses.

"All MYKITA MYLON sunglasses are equipped with specially developed lenses made by Zeiss. They all provide 100% protection against harming UV-rays, functional mirrors as well as scratch-resistant nano-coatings for a better optical performance."

A few MYKITA MYLON points to leave you with:

• Extreme stability and durability
• Low weight (30% lighter than acetate frames)
• Unlimited possibilities in terms of design and shapes
• Thermal adaptability, fully adjustable to wearer's features
• Unique fit & feel

Stop by our window to view MYKITA MYLON frames for yourself and stay tuned as we feature different styles!

This picture shows a tube of the Ultrafine Polyamide Powder used to make the raw, white unfinished frame from the Selective Laser Sintering process.  The red and black frames are two finished sunglass designs from the collection.
