West Coast clothing brand Gallery Dept. has launched a new chapter by expanding their creative vision into eyewear.
Designed by Gallery Dept. founder Josué Thomas, the collection includes five silhouettes with acetate and metal materials that range from sport-focused to traditional shapes. Each frame is named after a date that holds particular significance to Thomas, although he welcomes supporters to make their own interpretation of the meaning through memory, identity and individuality.
“Eyewear has always been a dream of mine. It has been a big part of my uniform being from Hollywood, CA,” Thomas said in press materials. “Speaking for myself, aside from a watch, it’s the accessory that completes a look.”
The collection launches July 21 on the official Gallery Dept. website and its retail locations in Los Angeles and Miami.
