"    Photo: Kevin Tachman   Most labels have a flagship store before launching a website, but online eyewear brand Warby Parker is different. Last night, the trendy label f\u00EAted its first physical boutique in Soho, New York City, and co-founders Neil Blumenthal and Dave Gilboa shared champagne and spectacles with the downtown crowd. As DJ Leo Fitzpatrick filled the room (designed to look like an old library) with music, Charlotte Ronson took in the new space. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s great. It&amp;#039;s beautiful. I didn&amp;#039;t realize how big it was. It&amp;#039;s like an old amazing book library,&amp;quot; the designer said. As for using glasses and sunglasses to enhance an outfit, she mused, &amp;quot;If you need [glasses], it&amp;#039;s nice to be able to have something chic. And it&amp;#039;s nice to be able to hide your tired eyes sometimes, too.&amp;quot;   Olympic figure skater Sasha Cohen has her own appreciation for a good pair of specs. &amp;quot;Now that I&amp;#039;m going to school\u2014I&amp;#039;m at Columbia\u2014I&amp;#039;ve realized that I need glasses to read the notes that are on the board... [and] it&amp;#039;s a really fun accessory. And even if you don&amp;#039;t need glasses, [or] have a very mild prescription, I say go for it.&amp;quot; (Warby Parker offers non-prescription sunglasses and demo frames, too\u2014both are available starting Saturday at the store&amp;#039;s new location on 121 Greene St. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
