5 New Optical Releases Launching January 2012

Hauppauge, NY – January 2012 – Eyewear industry leader, ClearVision Optical expands its Marc Ecko Cut & Sew eyewear brand with 5 new, trend-setting designs.

The new optical looks enhance the collection targeted to the 20-40 “ME guy” who is young in spirit, masculine, and pays meticulous attention to detail. Bold in shape and modern in design, the 2012 Cut & Sew Eyewear releases are stylish with an edge incorporating industrial and architectural references that continue to give the collection a sexy, stealth and authentic feel.

Maturing its design direction, ClearVision introduces intricate new textures, expressive patterns and interesting materials to intensify each highly-wearable style.  The stylized components include:  “geek chic” embellishments with a slick, modern edge; knurled metals for distinction; and innovative patterns, including Windsor rim wraps for a contemporary look with a vintage vibe. In addition, the 2012 collection introduces its “new black” – a carbon fiber pattern that’s high end and on trend with many high-end fashion houses.

Marc Ecko Cut & Sew continues to be one of the most stylish men’s eyewear collections available. A true expression of artistic creativity for men who know that authenticity counts, the new collection features:

  • A range of front shapes from modern squares to retro-inspired Wayfarers
  • A color palette inspired by military and industrial influences: Olive Horn, Black Crystal & Grey Smoke Transparent
  • Technical and architectural patterns and embellishments, including Windsor rims and knurled metal temples

In addition, the Marc Ecko Cut & Sew Optical consumer website is coming soon! marceckoeyewear.com can be visited directly as well as accessed through Marc Ecko’s vastly popular Facebook page (over 40,000 fans).  The site will feature ClearVision’s innovative Virtual Try On technology, as well as a Google Map store locator.
