Design Overview
A distinctive avant-garde oversized geometric frame featuring broad rectangular lenses, an exaggerated browline, and a bold architectural silhouette. The dramatic upper rim transitions into sharply defined outer corners, while the sculpted lower contours create a striking balance between angular geometry and fluid design. The unconventional construction combines substantial frame proportions with exposed structural elements, giving the design a futuristic, fashion-forward character that emphasizes individuality and contemporary craftsmanship.
-
Frame Type: Full-rim combination eyeglasses with oversized rectangular lenses, angular outer corners, and a dramatic, structured silhouette.
-
Construction: Hybrid construction featuring a substantial sculpted upper frame, integrated bridge, and exposed metal lens-support elements that follow the lower contours of the lenses. The pronounced browline and distinctive lower frame sections create a layered, architectural appearance.
-
Details: Prominent geometric hinge housings at the outer corners introduce an industrial-inspired design element. The sculpted bridge features a deeply contoured profile, while the exposed metal components, sharply defined endpieces, and slender temples emphasize the frame's unconventional engineering and modern aesthetic.
Fit & Comfort
The oversized rectangular lenses and generous vertical depth create a commanding silhouette that works particularly well for round, oval, heart-shaped, and softly contoured facial shapes, where the strong horizontal proportions and angular geometry can introduce definition and visual balance.
The integrated bridge requires careful fitting to ensure comfortable, even contact across the nose. The generous lens dimensions provide substantial viewing areas for everyday prescription wear and can accommodate single-vision and many progressive lens designs when properly measured. However, the oversized lens proportions may increase lens thickness and weight depending on the prescription. The combination construction and slender temples require precise professional adjustment to ensure balanced weight distribution and comfortable extended wear.
Perfect For
An excellent avant-garde, contemporary statement-eyewear look for someone who appreciates experimental proportions, architectural detailing, and unconventional frame construction. The combination of oversized rectangular lenses, an exaggerated sculpted browline, exposed structural elements, and distinctive geometric hardware gives these eyeglasses a bold, futuristic personality that works beautifully as an expressive everyday accessory for individuals seeking eyewear that challenges traditional design conventions.
Anna-Karin Karlsson:
A reimagination of the psychological draw of the Stockholm Syndrome, inspired by the enigmatic attraction of Sin City. Vegas Syndrome signifies a yearning for those unforgettable moments that have left a mark. It’s a journey through time, and a tribute to an era of daring and unapologetic individuality. The colours, reminiscent of vibrant tones of 70’s hard candy, and a palette so vivid it could only be found in the heart of Vegas itself. Pip symbols embedded under a thin acetate layer serve as a subtle yet striking reminder of thrilling times. Embrace the paradoxical emotions of memories that tell a wicked tale.

Find Your Fit
Frame Sizing Isn't What it Seems:
Let me throw a wrench to everything you might think you know about finding the right "size" glasses. While many people think a couple of simple numbers can determine the needed frame size, more often that not, that's just not the case. The numbers I'm referring to are the A or Eye size (Lens width), and the DBL or Bridge size (distance between the two lenses). While these numbers can be helpful guidelines, not all frames with the same numbers will fit the same way. Just like your clothes don't all fit exactly the same even with the same waist measure, neither do all frames.
Why Don't The Numbers Tell Me the Right Size?
This is a great question, and comes down to the wide array of materials used to make the frames! The distance from the edge of the lens to where the temple (arms, bows, whatever you want to call them) go back to the head and thickness of the temples themselves are just a couple of the factors. Add in different bridge designs with the same width and totally different fits and construction, and things get hairy quickly!
So, How Can I Even Figure Out What To Buy?
Pay close attention to the actual construction of the frame. Opticians know these tricks well and our staff is happy to assist if needed, just send us a picture, and what it is you personally want out of your next eyewear function and style wise. For a guideline for yourself though, look at the material thickness from the outer lens to the edge, this can be just one or two millimeters, on up to several or as much as ten or more millimeters in the cases of some specialty designs for high prescriptions! Next pay attention to the thickness of the material in the bridge, and the way it tapers. These subtle cues can give you a great impression of how the frame will fit on you with just a little visualization!
Does a Frame Always Need to Fit Perfectly?
Contrary to the optical worlds opinion, NO. You don't need perfect central alignment, or frames exactly the width of your head. What you do need, are certain lines to flow well with your face, colors that work for your complexion and wardrobe, and knowing whether you want to have a look that is bold and oversized, or small petite and minimal, or any combination of the two. There is a fine line between oversized and TOO BIG, so do dredge into this area with caution. This is where we come in, if you're not sure, let us help!
What if I Like Really Different?
Welcome to the party, you're one of us. We understand trendsetters and fashion forward styles are not something the everyday eye will find pleasing, and we're not going to talk you out of that gorgeous vintage cat eye shape in blazing pink colors, or whatever your heart desires, as long as it really is a good look for you in color tones and style choice! Frames built for the world of high fashion are some of our favorites, and personally our staff rocks some of the wildest things out there! Whether you like the basics, or something as wild as a rimless with dragon shaped lenses, we're not judging!
