Vision Express launches Julien Macdonald range

Designer Julien Macdonald was at Vision Express’ flagship practice on Oxford Street last week for the launch of his first eyewear range.

Glasses are as much a statement fashion accessory as a handbag or earrings.’ The range was priced between £169 and £189 and exclusive to the multiple.
