22 Photos From Marchon Eyewear’s 40th Anniversary Gala at Its New York City Showroom

Marchon Eyewear celebrated its 40th Anniversary with a party at its Midtown Manhattan showroom during Vision Expo East 2023 weekend in New York City.

Marchon’s showroom on the 21st floor across from Bryant Park was bustling with activity as attendees chatted and snacked.

Company President Thomas Burkhardt said a few words of thanks and congratulations during a toast. Attendees included VSP Vision President and CEO Michael Guyette and National Vision Chief Executive Officer and President Reade Fahs, among others. Trays featuring hors d’oeuvres and drinks made the rounds.

A prominent display along an interior wall drew much attention during the evening. The display was a timeline of the company’s products from 1983 to present. Included were Marchon’s first frames, the first collaboration with Nike, and product line-launching eyewear from Karl Lagerfeld and Victoria Beckham.
