Victoria Beckham: Reigning Queen of the “Bigger is Better” Trend

Fashion trends are notoriously fickle. As soon as you find a look that you love, we’re all on to the next trend. Is it micro-frames? Is it tinted lenses? Is it vibrant acetates? Is it metals? Right now the answer is: YES – to all of them. It’s a season rife with stylish extremes from one end of the spectrum to the other. It’s an “anything-goes” moment that we’re living for. One of the extremes we’re loving most right now is the Bigger Is Better trend we’re seeing in optical and sunglass frames. A few of our designers are dipping their toes in the oversized arena, but the title of reigning Queen of the trend, in our minds? None other than frame-ophile Victoria Beckham.

Designer in Focus: Thierry Lasry

It’s been 13 years since Thierry Lasry introduced his first collection of avant-garde eyewear - but the collection constantly surprises and delights us with its innovation and flair. Though his eponymous line has been adorning the faces of the social Elite for over a decade, it’s only been in the past few years that the Thierry Lasry brand has truly skyrocketed, largely because fashion trends have taken a while to catch up to Lasry’s unwavering dedication to his design muse: the ‘80s.
