Garrett Leight X Thierry Lasry | No. 2

Garrett Leight x Thierry Lasry Sunglasses | No.2

Garrett Leight X Thierry Lasry … Paris Meets Los Angeles, No. 2 – Limited Edition is now available.

Los Angeles based Garrett Leight California Optical and renowned Parisian eyewear brand Thierry Lasry, are back for their second limited edition collaborative release for winter 2013/2014.  Rarely do you see two direct eyewear brands get together, but when they do it is usually something special, especially when these two are involved (both long time brands here at Eyegoodies).

Revisiting the success of their previous collaboration, the latest incarnation draws inspiration from each designer’s home city  — with each seamlessly incorporating their own signature style. The sunglass, simply named “Number 2″ (for their second collaboration), takes a classic shape and imparts a deconstructed twist.   Available in four main colors, each of which features blue acetate components at the bridge and temples which showcase the exposed hand-drilled rivets and screws.

To commemorate the collaboration Garrett Leight and Thierry Lasry invited Los Angeles based artist Ashkahn to design a special edition box and carrying pouch as his own interpretation of each of the respective cities.

Garrett Leight California Optical | Spring Summer 2013

Garrett Leight California Optical Summer 2013

The Garrett Leight Spring Summer 2013 collection embodies everything we appreciate in eyewear, it’s: original, classic, and oh so clean — with a laid-back California spirit.

Beautiful custom Japanese acetates, signature metal filigree detailing, and glass lenses with both polarized and anti-reflective options, are just a few of the notable highlights throughout the range. It is technical, yet each frame comes across effortless and universally wearable, which is no easy feat.  You can just feel the thought and care that goes into each design. There are details everywhere you look, even the nose-pads on the new San Juan model have their own small signature touch.

MY HOPE IS THAT WHEN LOOKING AT A GLCO FRAME, YOU SEE A CHARACTER, A PERSONALITY, AND FEEL AN ENERGY THAT RESONATES WITHIN EVERY ONE OF US WHO WEARS THEM.” Garrett Leight

Garrett Leight Resort 2013 | Speedway T

Garrett Leight Speedway T sunglasses

Back in black with a powder coat finish, the ‘SPEEDWAY T’ sunglasses.

The Garrett Leight “Speedway with Top Bar” is an aviator which was specifically inspired by a frame worn by gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson in the late 1960’s and worn consistently through the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Originally introduced in Garrett Leight’s first season, it returns in the Resort collection with a new limited edition powder-coat color treatment. The powder-coated finish gives the metal a matte appearance, as well as durability from the elements.

Available in two colors, our favorite being the Black on Black on Black, that is: black powder-coated metal, black acetate accents, and black lenses, for a clean and modern look.  For the more traditionalist, it is also available in a powder-coat silver, with “Honey” accents and brown gradient lenses.

Garrett Leight X Thierry Lasry Sunglasses

“Los Angeles meets Paris” … Garrett Leight X Thierry Lasry

Drawing inspiration from one another’s home towns, Los Angeles based Garrett Leight and Parisian eyewear brand Thierry Lasry team up for their first limited edition collaborative release.

The sunglass, entitled ‘Number 1′, goes from strength to strength as each designer imparts their own signature style seamlessly.  It combines the clean and classic aesthetic of Garrett Leight with the bolder vibrant colors Thierry Lasry is renowned for.

The Number 1 is a very versatile piece offering the best of two worlds.  It features easily removable metal clip-on mirrored lenses, so you can achieve two very different looks with a single sunglass. Wear it with the clip off for a subtle timeless style, or quickly clip on the colored mirrored lenses for a more eye-catching appeal or just to switch it up.   Also it should be noted, the frame has excellent proportions and tends to fit virtually all faces, both men and women, extremely well.

Garrett Leight California Optical

Garrett Leight California Optical

Eyegoodies is proud to welcome to the site Garrett Leight California Optical.

For Garrett Leight, son of Oliver Peoples founder Larry Leight, some might think making eyewear was seemingly destined, but for him it is just a matter of following his passion.  It is out of this love for eyewear and “desire to create beautiful things” that his namesake brand “Garrett Leight California Optical” (GLCO for short) was born.

Leight put in the time honing his skills by working directly for both Oliver Peoples and Mosley Tribes. However make no mistake, Garrett Leight California Optical has a style and vision which is uniquely his own.

Garrett Leight California OpticalGLCO is laid back, sophisticated, and inspired by Leight’s California surroundings: the place where he was born, raised, works, lives, and loves.  Timeless styles are brought to life through his discerning west coast perspective; From the colorways, such as “Champagne” with “Ocean” polarized lenses, or “Honey Blonde Tortoise” with old school “Pure Green” lenses (just to name a few) — to the frames all being named after streets in Venice CA .  Even the Venice zip code “90291” is specially engraved on the core wire, a very nice touch.  There is a beautiful aesthetic to the entire collection.  It’s not over complicated, just a slice of classic 20th century Americana served with a modern twist.

GLCO sunglasses-details

Having come from an optical background gives Leight the unique ability to perfectly execute the subtle details which makes any frame just that much better: such as the fit, proportion, and comfort.  The collection also boasts some great technical features, such as German-made hinges, Japanese aged acetate, and Italian glass Barberini lenses for superb optics.
