What inspired you to design sunglasses with Aperçu?
Ever since I was a kid, I have had an obsession with sunglasses. I visited an endless amount of vintage markets around the world to collect unique pairs. For the longest time, I have been wanting to design my own and when I finally got the opportunity to design together with Aperçu, I knew exactly what I had in mind - a very classic elevated rectangle and a shape that is versatile, in beautiful fall shades, that I personally have been searching for for the longest time. The design of the sunglasses is a mix of all the sunglasses I own; not too sharp, not too round.
Design Direction
How did your silhouette come about? Tell us about your design process.
We have been working so hard to get the shape just right - it's feminine and masculine at the same. I've learned so much from this process and I never knew that so many tiny details can make such a huge difference to the end result. The lenses were one of the hardest aspects of the design process, because I wanted to have the shades just perfect.
Styling Tips
What role do sunglasses play in your wardrobe and styling each day?
Those who know me probably notice that I always have my sunglasses with me; either on my head, in my hair, in my bag or hanging on my top. I don't leave the house without sunglasses! It's the finishing touch for every look.
