Specsavers have debuted a new eyewear collection with iconic British designer Vivienne Westwood that takes inspiration from the fashion house’s signature style. The collection features appealing frames that showcase Vivienne Westwood’s beloved bold red and electric blue tartan and include the the Westwood orb logo.
The range includes optical and sunglasses designs with wide statement acetate sun frames and metal frame optical styles that have a modern feel. The classic Vivienne Westwood graffiti is delivered in a monochrome graphic print, which adds a hand-painted DIY feel to the bold black optical frames, while Rococo inspired metal frames complete the collection.
Vivienne Westwood is known for the brand’s ethical ethos and this collection with Specsavers has been developed with consideration to its design, durability and sustainability. Each frame is partially made from Eastman Acetate Renew, which is a combination of recycled single-use plastic and bio-based materials that come from sustainably sourced wood pulp. For every one-million frames made with Acetate Renew, Eastman uses 50 tons of waste plastic as a raw material. This is plastic that is not currently recycled which means it is being diverted from landfill and the ocean.
For this Autumn/Winter season, Specsavers is launching over 200 new styles across its collections with key trends including bold frames in wearable styles with tartan, soft pastels, vintage metals, super classic styles and minimalist frames on offer.
“Moving towards statement pieces that express individualism, this season’s range of styles will elevate any look,” says Nelly Soleil, Specsavers Head of Product. “For Autumn/Winter, we’ve curated a range of frames that we hope will encourage people to be playful with their glasses and their personal style. You can expect bold patterns, colour pops, gold metal finishes and cult classic shapes to complement the more muted colours and simple silhouettes we traditionally see throughout this season.”
Vivienne Westwood x Specsavers is priced from $459 for two pairs single vision with the collection available online and in Specsavers stores nationwide.
