And so 20/20 journeys on an NYC borough road trip to the very extreme tip of the shrine to what is hipster in this world right now: Red Hook, Brooklyn. With a well-worn ’57 Lincoln, the waterfront Brooklyn Crab restaurant and a day where the sun and the sunwear refused to hide, we make the boldest statement that for now and your extended future forecast… Every Day is Sun Day.
—James J. Spina
A Whole Lotta Rosie
Sunglasses love cherry-flavored crystals, and it’s evident Mizrahi loves sunwear looking to reinforce his intent with high-profile eyewear for his brand.

Sea Flaring
You need perfect reflexes (and reflections) to sustain such a kinship to the mysterious plethora of sea and sky blues. And that finely crafted flat black titanium stuns with lite.

Club Party
With a deft yet bold design indebted to the unique tradition that is Cazal and Cazal alone, this sun style vamps on the clubman theme with a sly feminine touch.

Chasing Classic Karma
Impeccable tailoring and obsessive attention to detailing are Zegna hallmarks, and that finesse carries right through to its sunwear.

Spy Pilot
Once relegated as co-pilot to the aviator, pilot shapes now rule the face with a more cheek-friendly attitude. And there’s dual purpose of intent here as the Happy Lens aspect of Spy’s proprietary lens system makes for perfect flight in the wild BLUE light yonder.

Flash! Flat Takes a Sharp Curve
You don’t actually define this shape. You just take a step back in awe, and then you notice yourself in that equally brilliant mirrored reflection.

Step up to the Trendy Well-Stocked (Double Brow) Bar
Ellen debuts her collection with clear intent to satisfy her giant audience of fans, while Mikli plies his genius in color with an almost fabric-like multicolored bar treatment.

Clip Notes
Have you noticed? Clips are sizzling hot. The dual-purpose aspect has always been key… BUT… the added attraction is they always look great especially in this finely detailed steampunk style.
