Eyeworks Metro captures the bold, artistic character of 1990s eyewear design. Its rounded silhouette features softly curved lenses, a gently sculpted brow, and substantial outer corners, creating a distinctive profile with a strong architectural presence. The black acetate frame is covered in an intricate linear pattern of alternating dark and lighter-toned stripes, giving the surface a textured, almost graphic appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metro (673)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLenses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Empty, ready for custom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49-22-140\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Context\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in Los Angeles in 1979 by lifelong friends Barbara McReynolds and Gai Gherardi, l.a.Eyeworks redefined what eyewear could be. At a time when glasses were largely treated as medical devices, the duo championed them as wearable art—bold expressions of individuality rather than something to hide behind. Their philosophy, \"A face is like a work of art. It deserves a great frame,\" became one of the most iconic statements in optical history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstantly recognizable for sculptural silhouettes, fearless color palettes, and unconventional proportions, l.a.Eyeworks helped establish Los Angeles as a global center for independent eyewear design. Every frame begins as a hand-drawn sketch before being meticulously handcrafted in Japan or Italy, balancing artistic experimentation with exceptional craftsmanship. More than four decades later, the brand remains one of the most influential independent eyewear houses in the world, inspiring generations of designers to see glasses not as accessories, but as a celebration of identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"l.a.
