NICOLE MILLER SET FOR SPRING

Sophisticated and fun with an attitude are highlights of the design sentiments for the six new styles—three ophthalmic and three sun—that L’Amy America is launching in its Nicole Miller collection for Spring 2015.

Prominently featured in the designer’s Spring 2015 runway show, the Pacific sunglass, shown, evokes a modern vintage feel with a retro shape and easy-to-wear colors that is a bit rock and roll yet glamorous. Sporty-with-an-edge and a modern take on classic shapes, the suns are sophisticated with tough-girl details.

The ophthalmic additions to the collection include Nicole Miller’s feature Celtic design details, 3D floral temple motifs, and contrasting-colored fronts with textured, flex-hinged acetate temples.

GOLDEN STYLE

In honor of Smith’s 50th anniversary in 2015, the company is re-introducing sunglasses from its past. Adding to the iconic Archive Collection the styes are exact remakes of original Smith frames introduced over the last 36 years. Each re-issued piece is labeled with its debut year and offered in original colorways. In 1965, Dr. Bob Smith invented and sold sunglasses for people with the motto, “Do it your way…but see it our way.” These vintage-inspired pieces are exact remakes of original Smith frames, but while they are spot-on for the design, Smith has enhanced the experience with behind-the-scenes, functional updates such as Carbonic TLT lenses, smooth operating barrel hinges, and adjustable wire core temples. They are Rx compatible.
