The past five years have been a golden era for luxury, but as we enter 2025, the market is shifting. Economic pressures, changing consumer expectations, and a renewed demand for exclusivity, craftsmanship, and meaningful experiences are redefining success in the luxury eyewear industry.
According to The State of Fashion: Luxury report by @mckinseyco and @bof , brands must act decisively to reset strategies, prioritize quality, deepen customer engagement, and future-proof portfolios.
The eyewear sector is no exception. With 41% of consumers voicing concerns over declining quality and 80% of UHNWIs seeking niche brands, luxury eyewear must evolve.
What’s the solution? The brands that will thrive are those that embrace innovation, elevate their storytelling, and create unforgettable experiences—both online and in-person.

🔗 www.DansharianEyewear.com
Announcing The Frame Affair's first exhibitor 🩷
DANSHARIAN is a collection born in 2022 from the collaboration between Alain Miklitarian and Danshari Eyewear, a brand made in Japan, inspired by the concept of minimalism.
The reason behind this name can be traced back to the designer’s origins. Even though everyone knows Alain’s story, not many people are aware of his Armenian descent.
In Armenia, the suffix "IAN" indicates paternity. - therefore Dansharian is the “son of” Danshari and Alain Miklitarian.
