MYKITA’s new engraved metal frames for Autumn/Winter 2009
MYKITA has a technique for engraving metal frames that is unique within the eyewear sector. The intricate finishing process sets new standards in its field and was developed in-house at MYKITA’s Berlin workshop.
The 2009 autumn/winter collection sees MYKITA launching two new extraordinary engraved patterns: TRELLIS and BEAD. Both designs are reminiscent of the weird and wonderful world of M.C. Escher. The artist’s fascinatingly paradox prints became iconic works of 20th century Pop culture and have been reproduced on everything from posters to T-shirts and even record album covers.
MYKITA model Anna in brown trellis
TRELLIS is a mesh-like design comprising repeated shapes that evoke the geometric pattern of an ice crystal. The interlocking lozenge forms provide a harmonious contrast with the sweeping contours of the frame. TRELLIS is available in the retro-style models Anna and Anton.
MYKITA model Bernhard in black bead
BEAD comprises juxtaposed circles that in their resulting arrangement resemble a Penrose tiling. Bernhard and its little brother Barney feature an enticing contrast between the bold, angular frames and the delicate BEAD engraving design.
Both designs are available in PVD-metallic black and brown finishes (PVD – Physical Vapour Deposition).
BEAD and TRELLIS will be available at SF Optics very soon. Don’t miss our MYKITA trunk show where the MYKITA rep will be present and exclusively showcasing the entire brand new 2009 autumn/winter collection on Saturday, October 17th – Sunday, October 18th.

Robert Marc has received lots of fantastic publicity this summer. The USA network’s new show “Royal Pains”, a delightful drama-comedy about Hank, a concierge doctor in the Hamptons, has featured Robert Marc on 3 of its principal characters, including Hank’s assistant Divya (in Robert Marc style 228), his brother Evan (in Robert Marc style 739) and his love interest Jill (in Robert Marc style 615).

Jill (played by Jill Flint) wearing Robert Marc style 615 on “Royal Pains”
In the latest celebrity news, Emmy-nominated “24″ actor, Kiefer Sutherland, was spotted in New York City wearing Robert Marc’s new aviator style 742! We’re pretty certain that Jack Bauer would approve this super-cool look.

The New York Post ran a candid photo of CBS anchorwoman Katie Couric wearing Robert Marc 614.

So after a long time, Orgreen Optics has finally convinced us to put them in our store…well…no, we’ve actually wanted the collection for a while, but just now finally made room in our store to display this incredible eyewear line.
Orgreen eyeglasses are beautiful frames from Denmark, featuring bright colors on modern / edgy frames. The frames have dual colors – a more neutral everyday color on the front side, with a brighter fun color on the backside. This is a great way to make a frame compliment your eyes and make their color stand out more, or compliment your skin and give it more of a radiant glow. They have great temple designs with unique detailed cut outs, but nothing too crazy. And all the frames are titanium … a light weight yet very strong metal material for high end eyewear. Orgreen uses both a milled titanium (a thick titanium that makes the backside colors stand out more from the coloring on the top horizontal surface of the frame front) and beta-titanium (a very thin titanium material that is bendable and has a lot of give, yet is very sturdy and strong. Some of their frames are even a combo of the two – the frame front being milled titanium, and the temples being beta-titanium.
Our rep Rene stopped by for us to look through the selection and pick out new frames. Check out some pictures we took to give you a preview of the line, which at this point has just recently arrived at the store!
You can see Webisode 3 to see the arrival of the frames and us featuring a few of the models.
And come by on Saturday, November 7th from 12-5pm when we will be having our Trunk Show featuring the entire Orgreen collection (and Bevel as well). Rene, the rep for both lines will be at the store to do an exclusive showing of the Fall / Winter collections for both lines which get released just before that trunk show date.

Thank you to all of you who showed up for our 29th Year Anniversary Sale to celebrate with us, and at the same time, get some incredible deals. Since we promise you a celebrity like makeover experience, I had the pleasure of running around with a camera, harassing you like your very own paparazzi.
Steve the Prada Eyewear Rep
We had an incredible triple trunk show featuring the entire collections from Prada Eyewear, Persol, and Ray-Ban. Steve the Prada rep, Nicky the Persol rep, and Monique the Ray-Ban rep hung out all day displaying their pieces and showing us the newest of the new.
Monique the Ray-Ban Rep
Nicki the Persol Rep
We had visitors of all sorts…
Ron caught in action doing what we do best ... styling...
Aaron always making people smile...
We are clearly the 'THRILLIST' place to be...
And although the parents look stylin' in Mykita and Robert Marc...
Their baby is destined to be the next Ray-Ban posterchild...
As Eyecare Professionals, we occassionally have to get serious and educate you about lens options...
...But we'll still keep you entertained and smiling...
And seeing better will never look so good. You can even ask Mi. No not me ... Mi!
Hope to see you again soon,
Alex
