The Optical Gallery Presents: l.a.Eyeworks Exhibition

Join us at The Optical Gallery for a one-day exclusive showcase of l.a.Eyeworks' latest frames, fresh from the Milan Eyewear Tradeshow, Mido! Founded in Los Angeles in 1979 by Barbara McReynolds and Gai Gherardi, l.a.Eyeworks has pioneered the concept of eyewear as both an essential vision aid and a dynamic fashion accessory. Celebrate the bold, innovative spirit of l.a.Eyeworks, a brand that has reshaped the eyewear landscape with its vibrant, daring designs.

Event Highlights:

  • Complete Collection Showcase: Explore the full range of new releases from l.a.Eyeworks, presented in every available colourway for this one day only.
  • Cocktails and Mocktails: Savour cocktails and mocktails that blend the vibrant, eclectic essence of LA streets with the refined quality of Japanese-inspired ingredients, reflecting the creativity and craftsmanship of l.a.Eyeworks frames.
  • Styling by Experts: Be styled and guided by our two-time fashion award-nominated eyewear stylists, ensuring you find the perfect frames to match your style.
  • Special Guest - Marma London: Experience the Marma London Tint Lab, offering a kaleidoscope of custom colour and photochromic lens options. Celebrate their anniversary with us and enjoy exclusive discounts on these premium lenses.
