Designer Julien Macdonald raises cash for Vision Express charity

Designer Julien Macdonald took part in the Thames Bridges Bike Ride to raise funds for Vision Express charity partner the Stroke Association.

Macdonald, who has an eyewear collection at VE, also designed a Lycra cycle jersey for the race across 16 London bridges on May 10.

Vision Express regional manager Keith Tomlinson said: ‘There are three routes to the cycle, and I’ll be joining Julien on the longest, which is 50 miles around London.’
