Runway Report: 2009 Vision Expo East in Las Vegas
The International Vision Expo West in Las Vegas is a “to the trade only” event where eyewear buyers have the chance to review new eyewear trends from around the world. Paula and Dena selected their top picks to bring back to Eye Candy. Check out this season’s picks! 
When we saw Switch in Las Vegas, we knew we had to bring it back to Eye Candy! Switch has something for all our sports enthusiasts. The video gives you an idea, but you’ll really have to come in and see these frames in action! Check out our Switch eyewear gallery.
We loved the idea of being able to change the look of your eyewear in a snap! This is some seriously cool stuff. Each frame style comes with two pairs of temples--but you can create as many looks as you want! Check out our Dilem eyewear gallery.
This eyewear line stopped us in our tracks! The funky, cool, Euro-Mod style is definitely attention getting. A little retro movie star, a little future fantasy and tons of cool kept us playing dress up for a long time. You’re going to have a lot of fun with this line too!
Check out our Eye'DC eyewear gallery.

Paula and Dena arrived in New York for the 2009 Vision Expo East in search of the hottest trends and designers in the world. And they found them! Stop in and see these two fabulous designer lines.
 Yves Cogan
We met with Yves Cogan (pictured) and fell in love! The deep, rich and saturated colors and design details push this line a little into the unexpected without forgoing sophistication. Hip and modern hits the office with a tease of after-five style!
Iyoko Inyake
Known for it’s cutting edge look, this show stopping line of eyewear is famous for its inventive and trend setting designs. Beautiful colors and materials like metal and wood are artfully combined, producing stunning, fashion forward frames. So unique in fact, that each frame is a limited edition and available for just a short while. If you love ‘em, get ‘em, because they don’t stay in our boutique long!
