There are three new frame collections from Cubitts that were created with facial analysis with the intention of supporting "unique facial characteristics" and fitting 90% of face shapes. Facial analysis from more than 4,000 participants was used to understand individual characteristics better and the insights helped to form the foundation for these new collections.
Cubitts founder Tom Broughton said "For too long, the spectacles industry has been designed around what's easiest for the industry and not for what's right for the wearer." With these new frame collections, the British spectacle maker is challenging an industry that only produces frames in one size.
To accompany this new launch, Cubitts created the Gloriously Awkward short film and collaborated with illustrator David Bailey to share works of art that will appear in store windows.
