Now that I have joined the “Four Eyes Club” I am sympathetic to the plight of fashionistas who have a challenging time finding the right frames to help ease the adjustment of acquiring that most dreaded accessory.
So the fact that Victoria Beckham has also become an honorary member of the club makes me feel less irritable about my predicament. The now veteran designer also shares my frustration with the lack of choices when it comes to finding eyeglasses with the right shape and weight so she decided to solve the problem by producing her very own collection.
Having already penetrated the market with her line of sunglasses, which she launched about two years ago, expanding to include an optics division seems to be the appropriate next step. It must be so thrilling to be able to make own wishes come true!
Now she will be able to cast a delightful and stylish spell on those of us who are forced to adorn spectacles but still desire some level of classic elegance with a hint of glamour included in the package.
Beckham along with Cutler & Gross have orchestrated a tangibly enticing six-piece collection compete with a color scheme that includes, the basic black, tortoise, yellow and forest green. Of course there will be an homage to The Lady behind the lenses as each piece will feature a diamond encrusted “V”.
As expected with Victoria Beckham in the driver’s seat, we can only assume that the production quality will be top notch with no expenses spared. The background details reveal that the frames were intricately sculptured in Italy, using the very finest of materials. There will also be a healthy range of styles to choose from depending on your personal palette; you could be the playfully sexy type or the adorably studious version. Or you can take a bold step and go for he “Heavy Square”, which happens to be a favorite of the designer and her beau, David Beckham, undoubtedly due to its charmingly chunky silhouette.
Whatever your preference be prepared to fork out at least $410 if you are itching for a pair. The good news is that you have time to save up – retailers won’t be stocked with these gems until early next year.
