This collaboration features vibrant graphics that adorn two of SMITH’s best-selling frames, the Bobcat and Sway, infusing the spirit of art and cycling into stylish eyewear.
The collection showcases bold, oversized frames that serve as a perfect canvas for Congdon’s striking designs, reflecting her unique artistic style. The Bobcat frame is designed for versatility, offering ample coverage and interchangeable lens options suitable for both cycling and snow sports. Meanwhile, the colorful Sway frame—available in both sunglasses and prescription options—boasts a chic, oversized cateye silhouette, making it an ideal choice for everyday wear.
Lisa Congdon’s impressive career, which began in her early 40s, includes the publication of ten books and collaborations with notable lifestyle brands. Her work has been exhibited at prestigious institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, Google, and Harvard University. In addition to her artistic endeavors, Congdon is a medaled competitive cyclist and a passionate advocate for diversity in the arts. She co-founded The Long Table Collective, a mentoring program for emerging underrepresented creatives.
This limited-edition eyewear collection not only highlights Congdon’s vibrant artistry but also aligns with her commitment to promoting creativity and inclusivity within the community.
