This Brooklyn-based designer has a knack for designing quirky, printed styles that are bold and outlandish in the best way. Bright colors, textured fabrics and geometric prints reminiscent of London in the 1960s make this rising label one of our new favorites. Carefree, exuberant and totally fearless, Kurt Lyle is designed with the conviction that we only live once so we might as well do it in color.

Self-taught designer Carla Robertson always found it hard to find a pair of shades she really wanted to wear. So, as the best kind of designer story often goes, she made them herself. Carla Colour launched in November 2014 committed to bringing fashion-forward, ethical and sustainable eyewear to the market. Inspired by color, geometry, music and infinite horizons, her refreshingly fun specs make for a serious (vibrant) style statement.
