PHILOSOPHY: “As a celebrity stylist and designer, I’m constantly visually stimulated and have realized the importance of vision,” says Phillip Bloch. “I was inspired to create a line of glasses that have my ‘fav’ four aspects of style: sexy, comfortable, affordable and transformational—officious for the office, cool for play and chic for evening. So no matter where you are in your day everyone will be looking at you while you‘re seeing the world through eyewear with star style by Phillip Bloch.” David Duralde, Kenmark vice president for creative development, adds: “Phillip Bloch’s great taste and flair for dressing celebrities adds a new dimension to Kenmark’s design direction.”
