The first edition is to be held in New York City from March 13th to 15th 2025
Loft Eyewear Shows has announced a new show concept for NYC in 2025: “New York Eyewear Design Week”, with the first edition to be held in New York City from March 13th to 15th 2025.
This initiative is being created “to foster a seamless, curated experience that brings together a diverse array of eyewear brands and industry stakeholders”. For the first edition, Loft confirms that Kering Eyewear and Thélios are participating with independently hosted showroom events to present their Summer 2025 collections while the independent eyewear showcase by Loft will present a stunning variety of independent labels. The organisers want the events to be designed to benefit eyewear boutiques, industry buyers, optometrists, opticians, and their staff, offering them a rich, immersive experience in a city they know and love.
The event promises not only to highlight the latest trends and innovations in eyewear but also to provide a stimulating environment where business and creativity intersect. There will be a full complement of Optometry and Optician Continuing Education as well as a space dedicated to machinery, software and optometric needs.
LOFT Eyewear Events has been hosting an off-site event space since 2000 and will be celebrating 25 years since their first event in NYC. Featuring brands such as Mykita, Bevel, Anne et Valentin, Theo, Blake Kuwahara, and la Eyeworks, the LOFT event has become a staple in the eyewear event calendar. The LOFT organisers have confirmed they will be adding a second space to showcase additional independent brands close to the location at Chelsea Industrial. Find out more at www.eyeweardesignweek.com
