The real heat this summer came from some great events and occasions for celebration right here in our hometown turf of New York. And those instances truly gave 20/20 some time to bask in the glow of opti-greatness. RANDY JACKSON and Zyloware literally framed my face with a stunning pair of crystal-cool specs featured in this month’s eyewear feature. RAY-BAN raised the bar on what it takes to score super success in the accessories industry with a resounding ACE (Accessories Council) Award that had the Luxottica brand in full house accolades. Madison Avenue welcomed BARTON PERREIRA to the brew of classy and classic eyewear brand retailers setting up shop in superb “must-see-to-believe” digs. And Silhouette framed some famous faces via their new full-framed NEUBAU collection in a swanky West Village party at NYC’s Freud Austrian eatery. You might say we stayed cool by hitting the hot spots.
