Gai Gherardi, co-founder of L.A. Eyeworks, passed away at 78 due to bile duct cancer. She transformed the eyeglass industry by promoting stylish, fun frames that serve as fashion statements rather than mere vision aids. Her bold designs featured striking shapes and colors, with names that matched their playful nature. Gherardi’s vision extended to incorporating laser engraving in the 1990s, making frames more personalized. Her approach inspired a celebrity clientele and changed how glasses are perceived, transforming them into accessories that celebrate individuality.
"Glasses afford spontaneity...you can't look better in them."
