Viewpoint: Diary of a spectacle designer

I emailed Simon Jones, Optician’s editor, on Saturday: ‘Simon, I’ve too many great things I want to write about at the moment, but nothing signed off. When is the absolute deadline?’ I like being up to date with this column. The Queen has just congratulated Emma Raducanu on her epic tennis victory in New York and Simon emailed to say: ‘Sunday night.’

I’m deep into negotiations with Warner Bros about what I can and can’t say regarding my involvement with The Matrix Resurrections. I can tell you I designed and made all the eyewear in the film. I’ve loads of brilliant stories to tell on this one but it will have to wait for another day as contracts will be signed later next week.
