As the world watched history in the making at the 46th Inaugural virtual concert, Grammy-nominated breakthrough band of the year Black Pumas performed, wearing STAAG Spectacles, by Canadian company Alternative & Plan B Eyewear.
Alternative & Plan B Eyewear collaborated with Adrian Quesada, producer and lead guitarist for Black Pumas to outfit them for some upcoming events. “We can’t think of a better partnership than the Black Pumas. Their soul and funk really speak to our 2021 spring collection, which is launching soon,” says President, Paul Storace, president of Alternative & Plan B Eyewear.
Quesada also wore the glasses on a performance of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert the night before their Inauguration performance. The Sanford model, a titanium frame was an eye-catching eclectic design. When asked his thoughts on STAAG Spectacles, he replied, “The Sanford Frame is exactly what I had been looking for in a pair of prescription glasses, just tinted enough for the sun but clear enough for indoors. And the design/style is timeless but not stuck in the past.”
For years, industry, clients, and trendsetters have looked to Alternative & Plan B Eyewear’s expert team for advice and styling of luxury eyewear. “We believe in our eyewear; we look forward to launching our Spring 2021 collection, building new relationships, and making people look great in our collections”, said Storace. STAAG is created with a nod to those classic designs. Over-built but not over-designed. The Black Pumas nod to classic RnB is evident but their spin equally evident. ”In this instance a good old fashion eye and studying
the client has been a winning collaboration.
