Word of Mouth

About Last Night... David Yurman Eyewear Launch

By Rebecca Suhrawardi Austin

How could we not say yes to David Yurman's rooftop fiesta last night? A hot summer night on their Tribeca rooftop surrounded by their chic new sunglasses collection was an invitation I could not refuse. While sipping mint mojitos, I perused the sexy new lineup of shades and have to say that I liked what I saw. Sophisticated and clean, and sometimes rock-star fabulous, the line proved to be a serious contender in the sunglass department. And it was definitely a family affair as the Yurman clan (David, Sybil and Evan) turned out in full force. I asked Sybil, who co-designed the line, what her vision for the shades were, to which she replied, "It's jewelry for your eyes."

Dear Sir
As an experienced optician I am most cognizant of eyewere final fits. I refer to the picture of David Yurman on page 46 of the September 15, 2008 20/20 magazine. Clearly the eyeglass picture would have more appeal to the eyecare professionals if the frame was fitting properly. There are two major fit problems. Much too much temple pressure to his human temple area. And the temple bend going over his ears is in the wrong location. Frankly as it is, is a very poor fit. Without question if you model your frame styles correctly it will clearly increase sales
