At the Movies


Through the lens of a camera, to your lenses in your frames, fashionable wears can be found in the theatre, or on the couch watching cult classics. 


Thanks to the 1983 blockbuster, Risky Business,  Ray-Ban has become a household name featuring styles like the Wayfarer, that have stood the test of time.

Celebrity Campaigns


Your favorite celebrities are always sporting the newest and coolest shades, making it possible to find inspiration from paparazzi shots and social media posts, all the way to ad campaigns. 


Seeing familiar celebrity personas collaborate with a brand is a sure-fire way to inspire your next style.

If you’re a trend-setting fashionista, you’ll want to keep up with the runway. Whether you look at fashion week, from New York to Copenhagen, or the seasonal show from your favorite brands, you can find inspiring eyewear all around.


Brands like Tom Ford feature their newest eyewear in their seasonal shows. Keeping an eye on seasonal shows allows you to see the newest releases, styled by the brand itself.

Fashion Influencers


In the age of influencers, it's easy to find inspiration by seeing what creators are wearing. 


Content creators are able to create engaging content by partnering with some of the best brands on the market. Showing new releases, or styling brand classics, influencers can help guide consumers in style experimentation.


By following creators that have similar style to you, you can find inspiration through their collections that you may not see in your everyday life.
