Alpha

Akoni Eyewear’s new Alpha frame channels the Jazz Age spirit of Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. The Alpha—with its sculpted Japanese Acetate face, branded rivets and new, laminated core temple holding the Akoni logo—riffs on the remarkable rebellion, liberty, and joy of the twenties. These are the frames Nick Carraway might catch the former Jay Gatz slipping on, as he stares at the green light across the bay from his West Egg estate, confident that he has escaped past locations that had been "ferociously indifferent to the drums of his destiny.”
