Now Mariener Eyewear is launching a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codex-xband) campaign to introduce a revolutionary new matte reflective lens technology that makes the lenses matte reflective from the outside, but completely clear from the inside. Every time you look at a photo, whether it is in an ad or on a website. The lenses look nice and smooth with low reflections. Until you get them in your hands and by surprise they are completely reflective. Those ads, those images on the web, we now match those with the real deal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Matte Reflective Lens Technology:** Mariener Eyewear is disrupting the eyewear industry with their innovative matte reflective lens technology. - **Affordable Alternatives:** Mariener Eyewear is meeting consumer demand for affordable options within the eyewear industry. - **Clear-to-reflective Transition:** Mariener Eyewear's clear-to-reflective transition lenses are a game changer for the eyewear industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Eyewear:** Mariener Eyewear's matte reflective lens technology is expected to disrupt the eyewear industry. - **Fashion:** Mariener Eyewear's introduction of matte reflective lenses creates opportunities for innovation and differentiation within the fashion industry. - **E-commerce:** Mariener Eyewear's innovative matte reflective lens technology offers new possibilities for online retailers in the eyewear industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [IR-Blocking Sleek Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kolari-shades.md) - [Advanced Co-Branded Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-x-mykita.md) - [Transforming Liquid-Lens Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32-degrees-north.md) - [Color-Changing Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-original-wayfarer-change-transitions.md) - [See-Through Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-transparent-meta-wayfarer.md) - [Adaptive Reading Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32n-sunglasses-by-deep-optics.md) - [Transparent Crystal Sunglasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20.md) - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [Sketch-Based Striking Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinzo-tamura.md)
