About The Daily Front Row
Founded in 2003, The Daily Front Row is a New York-based fashion publication known for its close connection to Fashion Week, designers, models, stylists, and industry insiders. Through The Daily Front Row and its print editions, the publication covers the people, brands, and cultural moments shaping contemporary fashion.
In its feature on Sutyo, the publication explores an approach to eyewear that puts fashion first. Rather than making technology the defining visual element, Sutyo integrates adjustable lens technology into familiar silhouettes designed to move naturally between different settings.
Fashion-First Design, With Adjustable Lenses
As highlighted in The Daily Front Row, Sutyo combines a classic Wellington silhouette with LightShift and ColorShift electrochromic lens systems, controlled through One Slide, an interaction built directly into the temple.
With a simple finger movement, wearers can manually adjust lens tint or color without relying on automatic ambient-light sensing, an app, or a separate accessory.
ColorShift allows wearers to switch between two lens hues, while LightShift offers stepless manual tint adjustment. Both systems give wearers greater control over the appearance of their lenses as lighting, outfits, and occasions change.
The feature places this functionality in the context of modern urban life. From outdoor street-style photography to indoor fashion events, or from a day at work to an evening out, adjustable lenses offer another way to adapt eyewear to different moments without changing frames.
A Familiar Silhouette, Concealed Technology
Sutyo’s approach extends beyond lens functionality to the design of the frame itself. Its Wellington silhouette maintains a familiar, understated appearance, with the electronic components integrated into the frame rather than made a focal point.
The collection includes four styles: Prism Veil, Aurora Fade, Pitch, and Oxide. Each offers a distinct visual expression, ranging from softer, luminous finishes to more structured, architectural forms, while sharing the same focus on design and wearer-controlled lens technology.
By bringing electrochromic functionality into everyday eyewear, Sutyo explores how innovation can complement personal style rather than compete with it.
