NEW
YORK, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pair Eyewear,
the first direct-to-consumer customizable eyewear brand reimagining
the consumer experience for individuals with glasses, is honored to
unveil the fourth annual Love Wins Collection in
anticipation and celebration of Pride Month in June. A portion of
profits from the collection will be donated to GLSEN to support
their mission to create safe and inclusive schools for LGBTQ+ young
people. The collection features 12 new Top Frames and 18 returning
Top Frames in bold, bright colors and patterns and is the latest
installment of Pair's expanding product catalog designed to
transform eyewear from a functional accessory to a symbol of
visibility, acceptance, and the power of diverse narratives.
One of this year's Love Wins Collection Top Frames was
designed by the winner of Pair Eyewear's design contest. The
winning Top Frame design, chosen by a panel of judges from Pair
Eyewear's team, is the centerpiece of the collection, embodying the
essence of pride and inclusivity. The designer's inspiration and
personal connection to the theme will be showcased in Pair
Eyewear's designs, adding a deeper layer to the collection's
significance.
Available for purchase May 1, 2024
through June 30, 2024, the Love
Wins Collection embraces a spectrum of expression that is
representative of what the spirit of Pride symbolizes. The
collection is marked by a powerful collaboration between Pair
Eyewear and GLSEN, as 100% of the winning top frame design proceeds
and 20% of the rest of the 2024 Love Wins capsule proceeds
will be donated to supporting GLSEN's initiatives for creating
inclusive school environments for LGBTQ+ youth. Since 2022, Pair
Eyewear has donated more than $130,000 to GLSEN.
"The Love Wins Collection is more than just eyewear; it's
a celebration of love, acceptance, and the power of embracing
diversity. Launching this collection ahead of Pride Month is a
testament to our commitment to making a positive impact and
creating a sense of community and belonging through
self-expression," said Sophia
Edelstein, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Pair Eyewear.
The winning designer, Dez
Surprise, a college student from Massachusetts shared their thoughts on the
collection, stating: "The inspiration for my Love Wins
design was from my school days. My Top
Frame design is meant to remind someone of a kid goofing off
at school, doodling on a chalkboard. Love Wins when our youth are
given the space to be themselves and feel safe and confident in
their schools."
