Modo Eyewear launches 7 For All Mankind, a Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand that fuses the worlds of denim and couture. The retro-inspired eyewear collection consists of seven sunglasses and eight ophthalmic frames. Styles are wearable, reflecting a relaxed urban aesthetic—the essence of 7 For All Mankind. Signature sun styles include modern cat eye and oversized aviator designs with lamination details reminiscent of the Art Deco architecture in Los Angeles and textural mosaic patterns evocative of crystals. Colors are jewel-toned. Ophthalmic frames range from retro rounds to sleek, masculine metals to petite feminine designs in classic black and tortoise tones as well as such vibrant hues as plum, ruby and topaz.
