NEW YORK--Designer’s Fall/Winter shows are traditionally much lighter on the eyewear side than say their Spring/Summer or Resort collections because presumably the sun shines less in the colder months. Luckily, designers participating in Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2013 bucked this trend a bit with several notable designers adding eyewear and sunwear to their runway looks.

Vision Monday had the opportunity to hit the tents during the course of the week – Feb. 8 thru Feb. 16 – to take in a few shows and scope out what’s coming down the fashion pike for next year and how eyewear plays into it.
