Moscot Moments

MOSCOT’s Fall-Winter 2021 campaign and collection features 6 new frame styles as an ode to the quirky artistry and bold expression of our downtown roots and fellow New Yorkers. SHOP FALL 2021 COLLECTION VIEW FALL 2021 LOOKBOOK The new campaign captures colorful vignettes of intimate moments and celebrates the unapologetic escapism of everyday rituals. Styled back to the ‘70s with influences of today’s modern flare, the campaign serves as a time capsule to the past and a ticket to the future. “Just as the small nuances of our own environments shape our lives, the intricate details serve as the foundation of the collection,” shares Chief Design Officer and 5th Generation Zack Moscot. He adds, “whether it’s through the delicate striped metal texturing on our new aviator — The SHAV, or the subtle yet dramatic cat-eye curves of The FRAYDA, these new frames share a unique balance between modern details and heritage design.” Set in an exaggerated and kitschy rendition of Grandma Sylvia Moscot’s living room, the campaign was shot in the iconic Orchard Street gallery that has served the loyal and eclectic MOSCOT community for decades. The transformative space has taken form as a stage for up-and-coming musicians, a hangout for legendary Lower East Siders, and features a salon wall of past and present icons who don MOSCOT frames.

Have questions about polarized lenses? We’re here to help! What are Polarized Lenses, and why do you need them? MOSCOT polarized sunglasses block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and are particularly useful for eliminating glare. Glare can interfere with depth perception and color contrast, making outdoor activities such as hiking or snow and water sports more difficult or uncomfortable. How do polarized lenses reduce harsh glare? Our Polarized Sunglass lenses block horizontal light waves, known as reflections, while allowing the vertical waves, or direct light, to pass through.  By removing the horizontally reflected light, the polarization effect of our lenses effectively eliminates glare while enhancing color, depth, and clarity. When should you wear polarized sunglasses? While polarized sunglasses can be worn at any time, they are especially beneficial when engaging in outdoor activities near reflective surfaces such as water or snow. They’re also great while driving in bright sunshine!

Shop now for new custom made glasses! Fun fact! 4th Generation Harvey Moscot’s first job was tinting in the lab! With 20 unique tint options to choose from, tinted lens preferences may change depending on style, fashion, or purpose. Grey and Green tinted glasses (American Grey Fade, Calibar Green, G-15) are considered neutral as they allow the eyes to perceive color in their truest form. Brown lenses (Cosmitan Brown) provide contrast and minimize eyestrain. Yellow (Mellow Yellow) is ideal for object definition, while Amber may make distant objects appear more distinct—especially in snow or haze. Vermillion lenses (Big Apple Fade, Cabernet) provide color perception and contrast in low light. Try a unique look with rose tinted glasses, yellow tinted glasses, or blue tinted glasses!  A look back on the history of tinted lenses: The first tinted glasses appeared in the 1800s on protective steel spectacles with Viridian Green Glass lenses to correct various vision impairments. They were primarily designed to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. By 1904, American Automobile Goggles grew in popularity as tinted sunglasses as necessary protective accessories to keep riders comfortable, safe, and clean. The 1930s brought on a new wave of American Glass Sunglasses with Calibar Green lenses in the forefront of style and technology. In the 1940s, lenses in red, green, blue, or yellow tints were matched with frames to compliment skin and hair colors, and in some cases, were thought to correct mood or medical illnesses. By the 1960s, a variety of lens colors grew in popularity, in MOSCOT shades like Big Apple Fade, Mellow Yellow, Denim Blue, Limelight, and American Grey Fade. In addition to making a fashion statement, tinted shades in the ‘80s were chosen to highlight eyes or cheeks and soften surface reflections. Fashion tints are still quite popular today in a wide range of colorways, styles, and functions, and can be seen on MOSCOT fans from Cristiano Ronaldo in The LEMTOSH with Purple Nurple Custom Made Tint™ to Elton John in a rose pink tinted BUPKES!
