Garrett Leight x Thierry Lasry Collaboration

Wayfarers, aviators, cat-eyes… Generic, generic, generic.  It’s time to step your eyewear game up with something a tad more daring. For example, the new Garrett Leight and Thierry Lasry collaboration is the perfect example of stepping out of the box without overdoing it.

The collaboration consists of two designers that were inspired by their love for each other’s homes — Los Angeles and Paris. Leight’s orange and blue flash mirror coated lenses were inspired by his California view of the sunset and ocean. While Lasry’s soft pastel coated temples and clip-ons were inspired by Paris’ romantic and majestic sceneries.

Garrett Leight showcases his classic, retro and thin sleek acetate designs, while Thierry Lasry plays with the mixture of colours combined with distinct futuristic vintage shapes.

These shades were produced in limited quantities and Spectacle is one of the few lucky ones to carry them. They are currently available at our Queen St. West boutique!

March of the Orgreens!

For fans of sleek and sexy titanium eyewear, we've got the style and attitude you've been looking for at Spectacle on Yonge Street!

Denmark-based design house Orgreen has built their reputation on vibrant colours and lightweight but exceptionally durable frames. From glossy polished colours to matte earth tones, the Orgreen collection includes laser-cut detailing and acetate combinations that have defined this dynamic line.

The all-titanium construction makes this men's shape, the Angus, both lightweight and tough as nails.

Taking design inspiration from sleek and fast fighter planes and racecars, Orgreen lives to help you kick your look into high-gear!

The "York," pictured here gives you the heavy, bold look of an acetate frame but maintains a light-weight, comfortable fit. Other pieces that feature unique acetate patterns include the Cornelius and the Storm.

The Hellcat is one of Orgreen's most distinct ladies frames, sexy and available in a wide range of colours it's a great example that a feminine frame doesn't always have to be the ol' fashion cat's eye!
