The five-year-old South Korean brand is a perennial streetstyle favourite thanks to its fashion-forward designs, ranging from transparent acetate frames with mirrored lenses to oversized cat-eyes. Its most recent collaboration with American brand Opening Ceremony earlier this year saw the creation of five futuristic eyewear styles, and marked its foray into the US market.

Founded in Tokyo, the 27-year-old brand is known for its artisanal approach to creating eyewear. Using materials like titanium and sterling silver, it specialises in minimalist, vintage-looking shades and glasses with intricately lacquered rims.

Founded by Singaporeans Jerial Tan and Eddie Tan, the three-year-old eyewear brand offers lightweight stainless steel frames in chic, modern silhouettes. All its lenses are made of high-quality custom themoplastic which is reportedly durable and flexible, while being able to withstand daily usage and wear and tear.

While it started out as an e-tailer, they’ve since opened a brick-and-mortar store at Orchard Getway (#B2-30).

Focusing on delivering on-trend styles at affordable prices, Malaysia-based brand Whoosh! offers a wide range of choices to go with your geek chic outfit. From thick, squarish frames to Harry Potter-esque types, they’ve got your every need covered.
