WWD speaks with optical shops in California and New York and their year ahead, trends, social media and what to expect at Vision Expo West 2024.

WWD spoke with four boutique owners from cities across the U.S., and while their client bases are diverse, some clear At Eyewear Love Affair, I don’t curate my inventory based on trends. Instead, I seek out unique eyewear designers whose craftsmanship tells a story and sparks conversation. My customers aren’t looking for what’s trending — they’re seeking something extraordinary, something they won’t find anywhere else.
