Interview: Patty Perreira of Barton Perreira
Patty Perreira, of Barton Perreira, has carved a distinct niche in the over-saturated eyewear market with superior quality designs that have a slightly more feminine perspective. After an illustrious 18 years at Oliver Peoples, she and the company’s president, Bill Barton, branched off to combine their creative powers with Barton Perreira. Following an unprecedented launch at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Jeffrey, Fred Segal and Barneys, the company recently teamed up with the latter for a limited edition reproduction of filmmaker Albert Maysles’ iconic black frames. JC Report’s own Beauty Guru, Geoffrey Rodriguez, recently caught up with Perreira to chat about the latest collaboration, the influence of cosmetics on her designs and how to choose the right frames.
JC Report: Why did you choose to recreate Albert Maysles’ glasses for your project with Barney’s?
Patty Perreira: Albert Maysles is amazing and we are so proud to be associated with him. The frame really looks great on so many people—men and women. The style is extremely classic and timeless, and also available as sunglasses.
