Vision & Voice
WHAT ARE
THE TIMELESS
FEATURES
OF LUXURY
EYEWEAR?
“Luxury eyewear must always embody impeccable
quality. Luxury is all about refined details, so the
frame not only looks good, but feels great in the
hands. TE246 has well-finished surfaces, hinges
plated to match the temples and takes a 360-degree
perspective from the dimensional temple interior
to the carefully crafted tip junction.”
“Season after season, Smith has stayed true to its focus
of providing enhanced performance within our eyewear
regardless of frame design or passing trends. We offer
premium lens technologies, like our proprietary Chroma-
Pop lenses, to deliver greater definition, more natural
colour and unmatched clarity to see more detail.”
Mark McCann,
Category manager – eyewear,
Smith Eyewear.
“Luxury eyewear seeks
to improve and be orig-
inal but it must never
change the quality, which
also means technical
substance and essence
of the brand. You must
always recognize the
deep passion of people
in doing it.”
Nicola Del Din,
CEO,
Blackfin Eyewear.
Jennifer Coppel,
Vice-president brand management,
Tura Eyewear.
“As a brand founded by two opticians, the perfect fit is an
enduring feature of all our eyewear. Alongside this, the
highest-quality craftsmanship is key, whether through the
refinement of traditional processes or the development
of new techniques and materials.”
Michael Gaty,
Toronto PR co-ordinator,
Cutler & Gross.
“Luxury today represents an experience for the consumer. When designing
the Sophia Loren collection, we take great care in creating eyewear that is both
beautifully adorned, yet comfortable for the wearer. We do this by building
customized size stories within the collection. Another distinguishing character-
istic would be the superior craftmanship. Quality is timeless.”
Nikki Maglione, Senior designer,
Zyloware Eyewear.
