Sixties style inspiration by Orla Kiely

Irish designer Orla Kiely, has unveiled a brand new eyewear collection exclusively available at Specsavers.

The range includes a mix of optical and sunglasses, staying true to Orla's design aesthetic - playful and full of colour. The designs for the collection draw on everyday elements, from plants to animals, intended to cheer up any glasses wearer during the winter season. 

The range is now available in stores across Ireland. Scroll down to see some of our favorite designs and find out where Orla finds inspiration when it comes to designing glasses.  

"I love taking inspiration from both heritage eyewear styles to eyewear shapes with real character. I was particularly drawn to vintage photographic shoots of the 1960s. I teamed this with colours and patterns that are synonymous with the Orla Kiely brand." 

"I have a real passion for spectacles being a glasses wearer myself, so it was a very enjoyable experience from start to end. I enjoyed the challenge of applying different colours and prints to the collection while also creating a functional accessory that people would want to wear with pride every day."

"When designing glasses firstly the shape has to be perfect, concentrating on the look of the front and how this gives the shape its character. We sketched out lots of styles and focused on keeping flair and direction without losing any charm. Then came working with our favourite patterns and colours to inject a little fun into the frame." 

"When thinking about creating an eyewear range Specsavers felt like a natural fit. I do hope people feel like my eyewear completes every outfit and complements every mood. I'm delighted that Specsavers has embraced the Orla Kiely brand with such enthusiasm!"

"Style is something individual to each person, there is no wrong or right to it. When you put on these frames I would love you to feel like it is a collection of eyewear that stands out for all the right reasons!
