Activist Eyewear Is Pleased To Present Their Winter 2012 Lookbook

Brooklyn, NY (I-Newswire) January 25, 2012 - Activist Eyewear’s 2012 Winter Lookbook is now available for viewing online at http://www.ActivistEyewear.com/lookbook.php. Activist Eyewear employed the services of Teddy Santos to model the newest photographs. Santos can be seen wearing Activist’s two newest styles: The Walkabout & The Summit as well as some of their earlier styles the 10.01 & 10.02.

Activist decided to deviate from their original Dewey Decimal – inspired naming schema and focused on names that allude to discovering inspiration for creative change through exploration. Co-founder and Creative Director Mark Craig explains, “We really loved the old time industrial feel of our initial style names. Now the time is right for us to highlight what we feel is an innate human need – the desire to travel, to explore new places and new ideas. This process of discovery goes right to the core of our brand.”

Activist’s frames all come with a custom-made waxed canvas carrying case, and heavyweight microfiber handkerchief. Select frames also come with 2 mountaineering-grade lanyards. The collection is available at fine optical boutiques around the world and online http://www.ActivistEyewear.com.

Additionally, in the lookbook photos you’ll notice Santos sporting the bow tie and handkerchief collaboration which Activist recently launched with Alfred Julius. Chike Atu, New York City resident and founder of Alfred Julius contributed a hunter green bow tie made of nylon ripstop to the project while Activist designed a heavyweight microfiber handkerchief and waxed canvas carrying case. The extremely limited edition set (only 50 sets available worldwide) is available for sale exclusively at Tina Catherine Eyewear & Opticians Boutique, and online at http://www.ActivistEyewear.com.
