So I remember the 80s. And the amazing women who dominated fashion, striding the runways and onto the magazine covers of the decade. They were tall, broad, strong, powerful, beautiful in a confident manner that bore no argument. They were known by one name - Cindy, Naomi, Christy and Claudia. And the queen of them all was Linda. The transformer. The revolutionary. The one who said she didn't get out of bed for less than some astronomical sum of cash dollar. And now, nearly 30 years later, she is still all those things. And probably more. And is the new face of
Chanel Eyewear.

Karl Lagerfeld. Art directed to within an inch of its life. This monochrome campaign reminds us of the 80s. Speaks volumes about Karl and
Linda Evangelista. And reminds us how a strong beautiful woman only gets better with age.
As a speccy myself, I do love that eyewear has started to get the same investment, backing and campaign emphasis as the other accessory lines. It's only fair as nearly 40% of the developed world needs help in the eye department. And who are we to pass up an opportunity for another designer accessory, hmm? I scoff in the face of laser eye surgery and embrace the glasses. Possibly these exact ones. You like?
