LaunchPad: Frame Collection Garrett Leight Bows SS19 Collection By Staff Thursday, April 25, 2019 12:08 AM More ImagesQuick Take: Garrett Leight’s spring/summer 2019 collection takes inspiration from the early 80s with style influenced by glamour, energy and movies such as American Gigolo and Scarface. Specifics: "The collection features unique acetate silhouettes with generous curves, sculpted metal shapes with electric angular surfaces, and combination frames with retro cues and contemporary constructions. Inspired by the colors and iconography of the time, we developed custom acetates with a vibrant mix of bright Miami pastels and California natural tans and neutrals to create stylized classics straight out of Hollywood," the company stated. Selling Points: Some highlights to the sunglass releases include the Beach style. This model runs as a "classically larger" acetate model that is updated with exposed mental hinges and adjustable nose pads. It's finished off with CR-39 sun lenses. The Breeze, an 80s influenced metal sunglass, shows off an eye catching silhouette that features an arcing top bar and beveled rims, paired with semi-flat lenses. The Kinney, a popular unisex style, shows off balanced proportions and multiple sunglass lens options and is now available in a smaller size for a tailored fit. The Mildred, made with hand-selected acetates, is a retro-influenced women's cat eye similar to those worn by Michelle Pfeiffer’s character in Scarface. For optical, the Bernard is a new rectangular acetate frame that takes its styling from 80s men’s trends featuring a prominent brow and saddle bridge. The new Boccaccio is a rounded frame with stylized proportions and flared tri-pin temples while the Walgrove M is a metal version of the brand's new shallow round style featuring beveled rims with angled filigree and acetate sheathed temples. www.garrettleight.com
