Must-See in NYC

With shows being canceled or postponed for so many seasons, we are excited to see the latest collections at both Vision Expo East as well as the Loft Eyewear Show this year. Therefore, we have created a little list of the Must-See brands, which are really worth a visit! Brands in a wide variety of categories, to match anyone’s desires:


Designed in New York. Hand made in France. Selima Optique is known for its sophisticated, sexy, glamorous and classic styles in a tantalizing array of colors. The uncompromising craftsmanship, and the lack of branding or logos, have made our frames a staple of the New York scene since 1996. Selima Optique’s fanbase consists of some of the most directional designers, artists and intellectuals, as well as countless celebrities and downtown personalities.
