We were sad to hear about the passing of the iconic Gai Gherardi, earlier this week. She was a true artist and a wonderful talent in the optical field. She will be truly missed.
In her honour and in celebration of International Day of Colour, we turn our attention to Gai Gherardi,'s wonderful brand; l.a.Eyeworks, renowned for its vibrant and innovative eyewear designs. Founded in 1979 by Barbara McReynolds and Gai Gherardi, l.a.Eyeworks has consistently challenged the norms of eyewear fashion, creating frames that are both expressive and individualistic.
Their designs are not just accessories but bold statements of personality and style. Among their diverse collection, four frames stand out for their unique design and vivid coluor palettes: Sunfish, Bucatini, Gilroy, and Sailor.
Sunfish
The Sunfish frame is a testament to l.a.Eyeworks' commitment to playful design. With its rounded lenses and slightly oversized frame, Sunfish offers a whimsical yet sophisticated look. The use of high-quality acetate ensures durability while providing a canvas for vibrant colours and patterns. Whether in a bold red or a subtle tortoiseshell, Sunfish adds a touch of fun to any outfit.
Bucatini
Bucatini showcases angular elegance and sculptural sophistication. This frame features a contrasting lens shape within the overall silhouette, creating an extraordinary stage for unforgettable colour. Available in hues like Black Freeze, Marooned, and Violuscious, Bucatini is perfect for those seeking a distinctive and modern look.
Gilroy
Gilroy redefines a classic shape with a modern sensibility. While the design hints at academic influences, the super smart colours and contemporary lines make it anything but traditional. This frame is ideal for individuals looking to blend classic and modern styles seamlessly
Sailor
With a striking straight-edge brow, Sailor makes a splash with a dazzling assortment of lush graphic patterns, both opaque and translucent, in buoyant HD acetate. This frame is a bold choice for those looking to make a statement.
Incorporating any of these frames into your wardrobe is an excellent way to celebrate National Day of Colour. Each design reflects l.a.Eyeworks' dedication to individuality and creativity, ensuring that your eyewear is not just functional but also a vibrant expression of your personal style.
So, whether you're drawn to the playful curves of Sunfish, the angular elegance of Bucatini, the classic-modern blend of Gilroy, or the bold statement of Sailor, l.a.Eyeworks offers a spectrum of choices to brighten your look and your outlook.
