  • MOSCOT, the Iconic New York City
    “ORIGINALS LIVE ON IN THE MOSCOT FALL-WINTER 2019 CAMPAIGN” NEW YORK, AUGUST 20, 2019 - MOSCOT, the iconic New York City eyewear institution, introduces a new collection of MOSCOT Originals and MOSCOT Spirit optical and sunglass frames for Fall-Winter 2019. Now in its 104th year, the family-owned and operated eyewear brand presents a collection and campaign inspired by the legacy of originals that live on. After over a century in downtown NYC, MOSCOT has seen many evolutions, but the constant appreciation of classic design and original form continues to endure. Staying true to the family heritage and generational legacy, the new Fall-Winter campaign captures moments of father & daughter duo Frank Ferrer, of Guns N’ Roses, and his daughter, model, musician & MOSCOT team member Olivia Ferrer. Shot on location in and around MOSCOT’s Lower East Side flagship shop, where living history is still alive and well, MOSCOT pays homage to the past with an eye on the future. Featured in the campaign are like-minded establishments: TR Crandall Guitars, I Need More, Strand Book Store, and the mom-and-pop shops that are the building blocks New York City was founded upon. The original downtown NYC story comes to life with 6 bold new frames consisting of a rich palette with tones of butterscotch, tortoise, black, and combinations of matte & shiny metal finishes. Many of the new styles play on perspective – The TELENA and The FRITZ, for example, are thick & chunky from the front at first glance, yet unexpectedly slim and sleek in profile. The Originals live on! The Fall-Winter 2019 MOSCOT Collection: FRITZ Features: Made from thin sheet acetate laminate with two dot rivets on the temples, a saddle bridge, and real five barrel hinges.

But wait till next year BY ANNIE KARNI It’s going to be a year of slow growth. Even though Congress didn’t send the country over the fiscal cliff and Sandy rebuilding efforts will spur construction, the city will add about one-third fewer jobs than last year. Wall Street will be the key culprit as layoffs continue, and a global economic downturn will curtail the expansion in sectors like tourism. “I would expect the rate of job growth to slow substantially after two very strong years in the face of a sluggish national economy and a weak financial-services sector, particularly early in the year,” said Ken McCarthy, chief economist for Cushman & Wakefield.

We are thrilled and honoured to have been recognised by the optical profession at the 2019 Optician Awards where our Croydon practice was given the Optician Award for Enhanced Optical Services at the prestigious award ceremony on 30th March. The judges were impressed by our commitment to caring for our local community through our investment in the latest technology and further education for our Optometrists in order to be able to offer enhanced services which would previously have been handled by the local hospital eye units. Working with Moorfields to offer these extended services has helped patients achieve a swifter resolution to their eye problems and reduce the pressure on hospital eye units. We are also involved in developing a trial of telemedicine Optometry with leading ophthalmologist Dawn Sim which we hope will help to improve patient outcomes nationally. Director and lead Optometrist at Croydon David Barker said “I was very proud to receive the award on behalf of the team at Croydon who deserve the recognition for the hard work that has gone in to making the practice the best it can be to support our local community” Whether you have worn photochromic / light reactive lenses before or never tried them, Hoya’s latest innovations deliver more than just exceptional comfort and with £50 off for newsletter readers you can give them a try.
