EYEWEAR IS THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR HAUTE COUTURE DESIGNERS.


One of the highlights during the autumns optical fair in Paris was definately the Haute Couture designer Manish Aurora´s glasses collection. Indianborn Arora made comet career with his comical and inspiring view on haute couture, which is also seen in his labels ”Manish Arora” and ”Fish Fry” , presented in flagship stores in New Delhi, Paris and London. Arora won MTV Style Award ffor best designer 2005 as well as Best Collection Award at Miami Fashion Week the same year. He´s now planning to take the optical world by storm. ”Glasses is something I´ve long dreamt of designing, it´s like the icing in the cake for Haute Couture designers..." said Manish Arora before the launch of his new collection.

Arora have a 10 year global license with Inspecs, one of Specsavers designers, and the first collection was launched during Paris optical fair. While sitting in their booth admiring my absolute favorite in his collection, I heard a voice behind my back, with Indian accent, saying; ”That´s my favorite too!”. I was sooo lucky to meet the designer in person and during his 5 min short visit, get a few words with him. The collection will be found at Selfridges in London in spring.
