KIERAN CULKIN | THE MESHUG SUN AND THE SMENDRIK SUN
on Oct 21 2022
Kieran Culkin was spotted wearing The MESHUG SUN and The SMENDRIK SUN in his recent feature in Port Magazine!
Kieran Culkin, mostly notably known for his role as Roman Roy in HBO’s Succession, sports The MESHUG SUN in Cinnamon and Dark Matte Brown with Custom Made Tints™ along with The SMENDRIK SUN in Gold for his feature in Port Magazine.
Like Succession, The MESHUG SUN is a family affair! While known as the black sheep of the family, Sol’s brother, Sam, was loved just the same. A bit of a rebel with a strong sense of self, when it came to matters of the family business, he fit in like a square peg to a round hole. Mirroring the rounded edges of this square-shaped frame, we made The MESGHUG should you need a reminder to stand out.
Forget what you’ve heard about The SMENDRIK down the block! With a sturdy construction of striped metal skiving, titanium nose pads, and acetate temple tips, this subtly striking SMENDRIK is real deal design.
Shop The MESHUG, The SMENDRIK, and the rest of The MOSCOT ZONE: Fall 2022.

The NEBB: Omari Douglas, Gemma Chan, Joel Edgerton, Thandiwe Newton
The AIDIM: Jourdan Dunn, Sienna Miller, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jodie Turner-Smith
Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, created a short film for his new memoir A Visible Man featuring a star-studded lineup of celebrities wearing his signature MOSCOT eyeglasses.
Seen in sharp suit ensembles reading excerpts from A Visible Man, Gemma Chan, Jodie-Turner Smith, and others accessorized with MOSCOT’s NEBB and AIDIM eyeglasses.
English actress Gemma Chan, best known for her roles in Crazy Rich Asians and the Marvel's Eternals, wore The NEBB in Black. Also wearing The NEBB was beloved Australian actor Joel Edgerton, who has starred in The Great Gatsby and Red Sparrow, and English actress Thandiwe Newton, known for playing madam Maeve Millay in Westworld. Last, but not least, up-and-coming English actor Omari Douglas wore The NEBB during his feature.
Edward Enninful is a long-time fan of The NEBB having graced the cover of Attitude Magazine wearing this iconically square-shaped MOSCOT frame. It’s no wonder The NEBB found a place center stage for this project.
The NEBB is chunky, rectangular, raw, aggressive, and in your face - just like a real New Yorker (except for the chunky and rectangular part).
English models Jodie Turner-Smith and Jourdan Dunn were spotted wearing The AIDIM eyeglasses in their appearance in the film. Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw, known for her roles in Marvel's Loki, The Black Mirror, and Miss Sloane, also rocked this MOSCOT Original. Lastly, actress Sienna Miller, who is no stranger to the magic of MOSCOT wears The AIDIM.
The AIDIM, named in honor of Hyman Moscot’s son-in-law Hal (aka, his “aidim”), is handcrafted using a combination of premium metal and Italian acetate featuring a unique pattern distinctive to each frame.
See the short film posted by Edward Enninful linked here.

FALL 2022 COLLECTION THE MOSCOT ZONE
on Sep 12 2022
MOSCOT invites you to crossover into the World of MOSCOT.
MOSCOT unveils 6 newclassiconic™ designs in a new campaign centered on the austere quirkiness and humble humor of the brand. The new Fall-Winter 2022 selection is a collection of frames that know no place, nor time, but that transcends cultures, peoples, and places.
SHOP FALL 2022 COLLECTION
Fashion meets humor in MOSCOT’s Fall-Winter 2022 Campaign, juxtaposing formal wear and ‘60s inspired eyewear with spiraling motifs on a black and white set. Drawing on quirky details and the visual perception of optical illusions, the campaign utilizes color, light, and pattern to speak to the new eye-catching designs.
“New York’s fashion and style is a reflection and celebration of oneself,” shares Chief Design Officer and 5th Generation, Zack Moscot. “With this philosophy in mind, I was immediately brought back to the ethos of self-expression and counterculture in the sixties.” While beginning the design process of this new collection, 4th Generation Harvey Moscot would often send pictures of silhouettes featured in old movies and classic television shows, inspiring the designer to dig into physical and digital archives from decades past. “I took the shapes of the era combined with our heritage design and modern details (think Custom Made Tints™) and made a classically MOSCOT collection.” he adds.
The new collection features unique design details like the wrap-around frame front of The NUDNIK, the striped metal skiving on The SMENDRIK, and combination metal and acetate construction on The PITSEL.
Take a closer look and explore the new collection.
