Ive been cursed with bad eye sight since I was a little kid.
I felt glasses made people look deeply uncool and nerdy.
And I was not a geek!

They all looked hideous to me.
This ambivalent attitude continued well into my teens.
Even now, in my early 30s, I still resist wearing glasses.
While I sometimes put them on at home, I rarely sport them out in public.
Ditto for Kenzo, which also opened its show withbig, black frames.
I wondered: If glasses are catwalk-worthy, surely I can adopt them into my look?

Off-screen, though, it seems like a tangible movement is happening.
So, I set out to find a perfect pair that reflected my style.
Plus, the sculpted futuristic sides add a bit of statement.
The glasses worked with nearly every outfit I tried on; I was instantly sold on their cool factor.
In them, I felt suavesexy, even!
(God, I am such a follower.)
But here I am now excited to wear my new glasses and ready to let my geek flag fly.
