Our Hypothetical Nominees for the 2023 Eyewear Awards

Posted Mar 20, 2023 | Fashion & Trends

Awards season has a little something to offer everyone. Maybe you’re one of the film buffs who tune in to see whether your favorite flick is getting the proper attention it deserves. Maybe you wait all year to check out which new designer clothes are making their debut on the red carpet. Or maybe, like us, you like to see which glasses your favorite celebs are sporting for the big night.

And speaking of glasses, isn’t it about time the World of Eyewear received some well-earned attention? Where are the awards for our most ground-breaking designs, our standing-ovation-worthy classics, our underrated gems? Here at Eyeconic, we say: no more! Let’s start a new tradition—the Eyewear Awards!

Okay, maybe it’s not a real awards ceremony, but we’d never miss a chance celebrate a few of our favorite frames. So, after some careful thought, we’ve adapted the Academy’s most popular categories into our own, and picked out some of this year’s biggest contenders.

And the nominees are…
