The story behind Mercura NYC Eyewear - most expensive glasses and sunglasses in New York city.A vision deep-seated in the distant 70’s, yet so forward and propulsive that it is still up-to-the-minute. From the Mercura NYC eyewear designers Merrilee Lichtenstein Cohen and Rachel Cohen-Lunning themselves; "we didn't have to go to culture to design anymore, its as though culture grew in around us". With a clientele that includes fashion's favourite enfant terribles like Lady Gaga, Elton John, Grace Jones and Lil’ Kim, these women have been creating shockingly amazing (and most expensive sun glasses) for decades now.

What I love about Mercura NYC sunglasses is you can be dressed to the max by simply wearing a pair of these surreal x futuristic eyewear. There is spirit and individuality in every frame. These one-of-a-kind pieces are designed with a view on and a longing for the future. You may look like a martian or a space cadet in these frames but you can be sure you're the only uber fashionable space cadet in the room ;) 

Rachel and Merrilee describe their strengths as follows: futuristic ideas, a love for invention, dramatic sensibilities, and a strong desire to express themselves. Their designs seem to pop up everywhere. I discovered them at JJ Valaya's Wills India Fashion Week show with some ghagras and some insane styling. And subsequently started recognizing having seen some Mercura NYC classics in fashion editorials and then fashion celebrities, fashion designers, scientists, diva’s, writers, porn stars, and billionaires around the world! Definitely a collector's item, definitely hooked!
