“Punk & Beyond: Legends of the Lower East Side” Charitable Gallery

on Apr 06 2023
MOSCOT Mobileyes supports LES Public School Music Education with Immersive Exhibit AN IMMERSIVE ART EXPERIENCE PRESENTED BY MOSCOT MOBILEYES AND MUSIC WILL IN COLLABORATION WITH PERRY MARGOULEFF, STEVE ROSENTHAL, AND DESIGNER DANIEL KERSHAW The MOSCOT Mobileyes Foundation has announced a partnership with national music education nonprofit, Music Will, for Punk & Beyond: Legends of the Lower East Side, an immersive art experience celebrating the musicians that rose to fame on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. With support from legendary music producers Perry Margouleff and Steve Rosenthal, the exhibition will raise funds for the launch and expansion of Music Will’s music programming in the neighborhood’s public schools. In addition to developing and sponsoring the exhibit, The MOSCOT Mobileyes Foundation has kicked off the initiative with a $26,000 donation to open four music programs in local public schools; this will fund teacher trainings, instrument donations, curricular resources, and scholarships to attend the Music Will Modern Band Summit. Both organizations hope to continue this initiative annually, building lifelong connections between students and music worldwide.  This initiative stemmed from the belief that music brings people together across all divides, a sentiment shared by friends, philanthropists, and musicians, Perry Margouleff, Steve Rosenthal, and Harvey Moscot. With MOSCOT’s historical roots in the Lower East Side, the Punk & Beyond: Legends of the Lower East Side gallery aims to pay tribute to a few impactful musical pioneers and establishments of the neighborhood while raising funds to inspire the next generation of musicians. “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to evolve MOSCOT Mobileyes from one passion of providing eyecare to those in need, to my other great joy in life—music, by providing music education to local public-school kids. I am dedicated to continuing to find ways to give back to the city that has been so good to MOSCOT” shares Dr. Harvey Moscot. MOSCOT Music originated in 2004 at the Company’s Orchard Street Shop, when 4th Generation, Harvey Moscot, grabbed his guitar and started jamming out on a rainy Saturday. Guests lined up, staff members and 5th Generation, Zack Moscot, joined in and since then, MOSCOT has added a music element to its repertoire, by connecting fans worldwide with emerging and established musical artists. "We are so grateful to MOSCOT Mobileyes for their invaluable support of our mission promoting music education in the Lower East Side, and to Perry Margouleff for his unwavering dedication to our cause," says Janice Polizzotto, Music Will Interim CEO. "We are so proud to be part of an exhibit that commemorates the rich musical heritage of this historic neighborhood and celebrates its vibrant diversity."  Designed by Daniel Kershaw, Exhibition Design Manager at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the immersive experience will feature artifacts from Johnny Thunders, Lou Reed, Norah Jones, David Peel, and more. Free and open to the public, the exhibit will run from April 22nd - July 9th, Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm to 8pm at the Mark Miller Gallery (92 Orchard Street, NY, NY). The gallery space will hold various intimate events throughout the course of its run hosted by donors, including performances, panels, and conversations with Lower East Side legends.   ABOUT MOSCOT MOBILEYES The MOSCOT Mobileyes Foundation is a not-for-profit organization serving underprivileged New Yorkers founded by Dr. Harvey Moscot in 2008. The Mobileyes initiative has shifted from solely providing medical eyecare to supporting the needs of the community as a whole. To make a donation, visit MOSCOT Mobileyes ABOUT MUSIC WILL Music Will is the largest nonprofit music program for schools in the United States.

The Spring 2023 Collection MOSCOT Road Trip

on Mar 01 2023
This Spring, we’re taking a Road Trip out of New York City to find creative inspiration. The Spring 2023 Campaign speaks to artistic freedom, originality, and the beauty of the creative journey to make something truly authentic.   The Spring 2023 campaign follows native New York band and admired friends, Andy Suzuki and Kozza Babumba of Andy Suzuki & The Method on an escape from the city in search of adventure, a change of scenery, and inspiration for a new song. "Working with MOSCOT on this campaign has been incredible for us,” says lead singer Andy Suzuki. “This element of creative evolution really hits home when it comes to our musical and personal styles,” he adds. Drummer, Kozza Babumba, continues “early in our career we discovered MOSCOT, and it’s cool because we can see the pictures and videos over the years reflect our style evolution that also coincided with the music changing. So, I think there has been a really interesting lockstep journey between our music and MOSCOT that has been amazing to watch and is reflective of the journey depicted in the campaign.” As the first designer at the helm of the family business, Chief Design Officer and 5th Generation, Zack Moscot was keen to cater to the core MOSCOT community. “This new collection is designed for the creative person, process, and product. We strive to embrace artistry and what it takes to make something original,” he shares. “I want those who have been shopping with us for generations and those who have been fitted for a pair of frames for the very first time to feel represented. Always keeping in mind, the common thread of creativity and artistry woven into our brand’s DNA.” As a result, MOSCOT’s Spring 2023 line combines classic vintage styles with modern construction, welcoming a new class of iconic originals in five new styles, from round, thick and chunky to the elegant details seen in their reinvented “eyebrow” frame design. The full range of the collection was designed with artists in mind who seek more than just a fashion accessory, but also a creative lens. MOSCOT’s rich history allows the brand to see the past in the present, shaping the future. By focusing on more than just the product, but on the process as well, the results are crystal clear.

Adjust If You Must: How To Know If Your Eyeglasses Need An Adjustment

on Feb 03 2023
Ordering prescription glasses online is a simple way to get your eyewear delivered straight to your doorstep. Easy as it may be, we understand you may have some lingering questions. How do I pick the right frame? What if the color doesn’t suit me? The most important question: will they fit? All of which are valid concerns.  Not only can ill-fitting glasses be frustrating, but they can also cause headaches and eye strain. Here are a few ways to determine if your new glasses are the wrong fit or just need an adjustment. First, look in the mirror at yourself. This may seem like a given but really look at yourself with the glasses on. Do you like what you see? Are your eyes properly centered?  Is there too much space between your face and the sides of your glasses? An important part of fit is determining where your eye sits in the frame. Your eyes should be well centered in the frame. Eyeglass frames that are too wide will make your eyes appear too close together, while narrow frames will give your eyes a wide-set look. If the frame is right and the color looks great, then you’re off to a good start! Next, move your head up and down and side to side. If the frame slides off your face or falls off, don’t feel like you’ve made the wrong choice. It doesn’t mean the frame isn’t for you, it just needs the proper adjustments by a licensed optician for a more secure fit.  Now, what if the opposite happens? What if you put the glasses on and there’s some resistance? If the temples are pressing into the side of your face and you feel like you have to force them on, once again, all that’s needed is an adjustment. Take your glasses to a licensed optician to have the frame fit to your comfort level. Adjustments are a common practice. They are quick, easy and any optician can do them for you. Buying glasses is definitely not a one size fits all situation (which is why we have many sizes to choose from!), but with the right adjustments, we can make sure you have your perfect pair!  Still have questions? Our frame fit specialists are waiting to help you get framed! Check out Dr. Harvey Moscot discussing proper frame fit.
