EYECON Announces 2027 New York Event Focused on Fashion, Tech and Emerging Talent

EYECON announced its return to New York City for March 5–7, 2027, at The Glasshouse. The event’s theme is “Reframing Eyewear’s Place in Fashion & Tech.” Founder Tarrence Lackran stated the goal is to position eyewear within broader cultural conversations involving fashion and technology. The 2027 edition will emphasize emerging designers alongside established luxury houses and expand focus on smart eyewear, lens technology, and materials. This follows the 2026 edition, which saw a 28% increase in overall attendance and a 35% rise in buyers and decision-makers. One-third of 2026 exhibitors were presenting in the United States for the first time. Registration is currently open for industry professionals and retailers.
