Sarah Palin and her Kawasaki eyeglasses either launched a new design direction in the eyeglass world, or Sarah Palin was right on the leading edge of fashion eyeglasses. I suspect the latter.
Sarah Palin obviously knows her fashion, and for a woman her age not to be wearing contacts, she's already making a statement.
Tag Heuer won the SILMO award for innovation for their C Flex line, launching in Spring 2009. Look familiar? They're rimless and square-shaped, just like the Sarah Palin Kawasaki design model. Will Sarah Palin have the same influence in other fashions as she has had on eyeglasses? I think you can count on it.
