New eyewear frame designs! Eyewear brand name established!
Update! NEW eyewear frame designs for our "Social Electric Eyewear" - social video recording & computing enabled eyewear! Your comments are appreciated -- tell us what other styles of frames for the eyewear you would like!!
And showing the styles of eyewear would not be complete without a geek-chic photo-shoot! Thanks to Anda and Stephanie, fellow friends and entrepreneurs, for being the geek-chic ladies showcasing eyewear in our latest update!
Following the rebellious yet stylish and classic eyewear styles of Buddy Holly, the beatniks and even Superman while he's Clark Kent -- we've come up with some modern, thick framed styles of frames for our eyewear! We consulted with several fashion industry designers & creatives in conjunction with as many geeks and mixed that with our own love of sci-fi and comic books to come up with a couple new styles of frames. One thing we wanted to make sure is that the frame designs would fit into a semi-edgy yet cool new & classic geek style.
The eyewear product will be created as a brand under our company Vergence, with the brand name "Epiphany Eyewear". We liked the name because when you put them on you will have an epiphany, a word with many great meanings -- but you have to be a true Sci-Fi geek to truly get the Vernor Vinge Rainbows End sci-fi reference! :)
Thanks for your support!
