and very original. Available in six colors ranging from Blue, Pink, Purple and Red

The collection’s two face flattering frames—one an update of the glamorous 1950s cat’s eye (Rosanne–pictured), the other a timeless, elongated oval (Cleo)—take their cues from Corinne’s personal collection of vintage eyewear.

New Releases can be extremely popular for those wanting the newest in what fashion eyewear offers.
Today’s eyewear is seen as an accessory. It is also important to look at a person’s features, hairstyle and skin tone to select which frames will best complement each individual. Many will opt for more than one pair of glasses each year when their prescription has changed, and will want several pairs of glasses to coordinate with their wardrobe.
