REM Eyewear used the exhibition to show off its range of brands from the likes of Tumi, Converse and US fashion designer John Varvatos - a brand which looks set for more exposure in the UK in 2013 with the launch of a flagship store on London's Conduit Street.
Varvatos was on hand to talk to practitioners about a slew of new releases at the show and spoke exclusively to Optician about the brand's venture into eyewear.
'When you think about eyewear over time gone by, but especially in today's world, it's a huge part of everybody's wardrobes, whether it's for sunglasses and fashion or ophthalmic function and fashion.

I have always said "god is in the little details", so for me it's about going back to the studio and looking at little finesse touches and bringing back some of the artisan feel that I think has been missing from eyewear,' he says.
