“Manhattan is vibrant and dynamic,” says eyewear designer Robert Marc, who opened his first shop 35 years ago in New York City. “New York’s ethnic and cultural diversity makes this city great, fueling my excitement and creativity.” The Accessories Council Visionary ACE Award recipient’s handcrafted frames elevate eyewear from ordinary to couture. Boasting seven stores in Manhattan, Marc offers his view of the city seen through his carefully curated lens.
