How can we not mention the recent craze to get frames like VP nominee Sarah Palin? It’s fascinating to see the celebrity phenomena impacting the eyewear industry. One thing it confirms is that frames are as much a fashion item as they are medical device. Gone are the days of not wanting to be seen wearing glasses. They are an accessory, and a means of conveying an image.
Palin’s frame features drill-mount linear shaped lenses and sleek gray-toned temples. Drill mounts appear practically “frameless” from the front because the entire lens is rimless and held by mounting screws at the bridge and temples. Her straight lens shape and frame size may not flatter all facial shapes, but it’s a great choice for Palin’s. We have several similarly styled drill-mount frames, with variations in color and shape to suit you. Our Eyewear Consultants can help you find the perfect frame so you look and see your best. We take into account what’s flattering to your face and coloring, the right size for your lens prescription, as well as your personal tastes, lifestyle and visual needs.
Complete EyeCare Center’s Eyewear Consultants also keep educated on eyewear trends through current trade journals, conferences, and regular meetings with eyewear industry representatives. Other celebrities setting recent trends in eyewear include Tina Fey, Amanda Peete, Cate Blanchett, and Jennifer Gardner.
