I find it sad these days to see men and women put so much thought and effort into their shoes, outfits, handbags, etc. and be in ugly, cheap, poorly fitting glasses. It really kills me. You have $600 shoes, a $3000 handbag and look fantastic. Except your wearing cheap glasses made in china. (I'm looking at you Oprah and Gayle!) Its like buying what looks like a brand new BMW and opening the hood and seeing a 40 year old golf cart engine. Maybe you got a deal but did you? Nope. I got to hand it to some of these companies tho, they are marketing machines. They have lots of people fooled that they are actually selling a great product. Its really impressive. You do indeed get what you pay for.

What happens when passionate people are not satisfied the status quo? Innovation. More than 20 years ago, Belgian opticians Patrick Hoet and Wim Somers each had their own optometry businesses; however they were not happy with the collection of frames they were receiving. The whole lot they stocked was mind-numbing, mass-produced junk so they teamed up and created their own unique brand. Theo Eyewear was born from a passion to offer quality designer glasses that are as unique as the person that wears them.

Why It’s A Must-See: If you have yet to make it to the area’s newest shops, now is your chance to get personal with the goods you’ve been hearing about through the grapevine. Featuring fall looks from five hot rookie retailers (NV on Washington, Klutch in Town & Country, Rung in Rock Hill, Boutique 83, and The Eye Bar in the
Central West End and Sole & Blues—which isn’t “new” so much as a mainstay in The Loop, but has recently relocated, resulting in drastically-expanded inventory), an under-the stars runway will serve as an ideal setting for the fresh-and-sexy lineup.
