Ksubi Does Eyeglasses
MELBOURNE--These days, eyeglasses are as fashionable as sunglasses--maybe even more so. But for some of us, perfect vision gets in the way. Yet Ksubi's new optical range makes us (almost) want to wear a pair sans-prescription. The seven-style-strong collection is the latest addition to the growing book of tricks from the Bondi duo, and helps to dust off all those pesky "are-they/aren’t-they out of business?" rumors. A new sunnies collection will be released alongside the optical collection--both will be available in Australia this month at Myer and David Jones and online at Generalpants.com.au, with prices ranging from AUD $289 - $329 (USD $265 - $300). Both ranges offer toughened up yet quirky retro shapes and materials, and should come as a welcome addition to the usual bland optometrist fare.
