The collection is classically inspired and developed for the customer who enjoys refinement and understated sophistication. The new line now provides a polarized lens option for all of the styles.
Modern Amusement eyewear designer, Shane Baum says, "The Spring 2008 collection is all about redefining, rather than reinventing, the classics. The Modern Amusement customer is not 'of the moment,' but rather quite cautious about the evolution of their fashion persona. This collection finds its inspiration in the quest to be innovative, yet timeless. However biased, I believe the collection has evolved to a state that feels quite fresh, classic, and understated."
This collection has styles that combine the classically sporty appeal of thick acetate frames with elegant nickel silver inlays. The metal styles in this collection are treated with genuine leather wrapped temples and top bars. New additions to the line are feminine styles with detailed beveling on definitive 50's shapes.
Colorations include the addition of a classic blonde tortoise that could be reminiscent of Oxford University circa 1982. Also, the deep reddish brown acetate is brushed in a matte finish that feels rich and well worn.
The Spring '08 collection will be featured in premiere ret ail locations: Saks Fifth Ave., Lisa Kline (Los Angeles), Park and Ronen (New York), Base (Florida), Details (Chicago), Style Lab (Baton Rouge), Blackbird (Seattle), Brillien Manufaktur (Vienna), Le Bihan (Paris), and L'Osservatorio (Milan) at the suggested retail price of $150-$280 USD.
