Robert Marc is recognized as a visionary in the world of eyewear. It was over twenty years ago that he opened his first shop, which was considered to be one of the very first high-end boutiques to bring eyeglasses to the forefront of fashion. Robert Marc quickly established a strong reputation by presenting the most fashion-forward eyewear with exquisite displays and providing personalized service to offer the perfect eyewear for each individual customer. Today, there are nine Robert Marc boutiques located in New York City and Boston - each one reflecting Robert's talent for product design, merchandising and quality service.
After designing and consulting on many of the world's most successful premier eyewear collections, Robert launched his own signature collection of luxury eyewear in 1999 - for which Vogue magazine announced, "Robert makes his Marc." This collection represents his vision towards the modern, classic and instantly recognizable. Each Robert Marc frame is handcrafted and is subtly branded with the trademarked Robert Marc signature hinge. As a testament to his sophisticated designs and influence in elevating eyewear to its current position as a couture accessory, Robert was inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 2001.
Fans of Robert Marc's designs include celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Moore, Uma Thurman and Matt Damon. Over the years, Robert's designs have turned up everywhere from the most fashionable metropolitan streets and designer runway shows to major motion pictures and television productions. Recent projects include films such as When In Rome (Kristen Bell, Anjelica Huston), Salt (Angelina Jolie), Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (Shia LaBeouf, Michael Douglas) and Earthbound (Kate Hudson, Gael Garcia Bernal), as well as TV's Gossip Girl, Entourage, Melrose Place, 90210, Brothers & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Heroes, 24, How I Met Your Mother and CSI.
