I like to combine that functional day-to-day look with a little more glamour for the evening,” she said.“I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from the idea of modern classics, popular shapes and styles that suit most people, but with my own personal twist on each frame. At my request, we made sure the collection includes some petite styles. I know what it’s like searching for glasses and not being able to find any that fit. We’ve really made sure there’s something in there for everyone!”The design thes for the new range are Modern Classics, Subtle Bling, and Reinvented Vintage, which together constitute a 25-frame collection, along with an additional four frames intended for use in prescription sunglasses. All have a stylised ‘K’ on the tples.The range became available just two days after the launch event.
