Some days are louder than others.
Decisions come faster. Expectations stack up.
The reminder is simple: you don’t chase attention. You carry it.
What you choose to see through matters more than most people realize.
Eyewear isn’t an accessory. It’s part of how you show up.

Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer, introduces a new kind of white for your optical. Soft, warm, and modern, it moves away from stark contrast and toward balance, ease, and wearability.
Cloud Dancer is not about making frames louder. It is about letting form, fit, and craftsmanship speak. It supports minimalist design, works across skin tones, and brings a sense of calm confidence to eyewear styling.
This shade reflects a shift toward refined simplicity in optical. Sculptural shapes, subtle materials, and thoughtful finishes become the focus when colour steps back. The result is eyewear that feels fresh, contemporary, and quietly elevated.
White, redefined for everyday wear.

Ió:ken – A Culturally Inspired Frame Line
Ió:ken (pronounced Yo:guh or Yo:gah) translates to “It’s Clear” in the Kanienkeha:ka (Mohawk) language.
This new Indigenous designer eyewear company is based in Akwesasne, Canada, and created in partnership with Centennial Optical Inc.
Each frame features original artwork by Mohawk artist Bruce Boots. These designs are more than decorative. They are rooted in cultural symbolism that reflects the honour, history, and strength of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people and other Indigenous Nations.
Ió:ken Designs was created to offer eyewear that can be worn with pride within Indigenous communities and appreciated by anyone who values meaningful design and cultural storytelling.
