The legendary Moscot eyewear company has finally landed on Australian shores. Moscot are introducing a select range of their famous (or shall we say infamous) glasses into a group of selected boutiques.

The New York eyewear company has been an institution in the big apple for over 90 years.  Hyman Moscot started the label, and now it is run by two siblings who are from the fourth generation of the Moscot family.

Moscot have shaded the eyes of Andy Warhol, John Lennon and Johnny Depp. Moscot create frames that transform eyewear from a mere pair of glasses into a style statement. The Originals line from Moscot has been imitated time and time again. Now Australia no longer has to settle for imitation.

The collection is based on the styles from the renowned Moscot archives of the 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, all of which have been duplicated with authentic lens and frame colours to ensure the Moscot signature survives. These glasses are a contemporary instalment of a traditional style legacy that is as notorious as the people who have made them famous.

Favourites include, the ‘Malcom X’ style statement specs ‘th,e ‘Yukel’ and the ‘Miltzen’, sported by the infamous artistic revolutionaries mentioned above, as well as by ‘Ghandi’ and ‘Harry Truman’, to name-drop a few more. These glasses, with their 1930’s style, have a sleek yet powerful aesthetic, and are sure to be equally as venerated now as they were back then.

The perfect style for women is the rectangular shaped ‘Hyman’, named after the creator of Moscot, they are the perfect eye-catchers without being attention snappers.

Each of these much-admired styles is available in a range of lens and frame colours so don’t be afraid to add a little contrasting hue to your own eyes. After all if the eyes are the windows to the soul then it’s important that the window frames embellish the artwork inside!
