As part of our Bend the Trend campaign, our staff has decided to take on the trends to show how we interpret the hottest spring glasses styles. This week we take on our French Pop trend which draws from the late 50’s and 60’s with looks for the season inspired by mid-century fashion like up-swept cat eyes and wing tipped shapes.
