SAN DIEGO, Calif.—Classique Eyewear unveils the Lisa Loeb Eyewear Collection, inspired by Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb’s signature cat-eye glasses.

“When designing the glasses, I felt strongly about giving the frames the upward sweep often found in classic cat-eyed frames.” —Lisa Loeb

“People have been asking me about my glasses for years. Finally, I decided that I should design my own line of eyewear,” said Loeb. “My eyewear generally has a cat-eyed look. Think sexy librarian, not retro grandma. When designing the glasses, I felt strongly about giving the frames the upward sweep often found in classic cat-eyed frames.”

The initial collection features 13 ophthalmic styles in up to four color variations each. The styles include classics in black and tortoise, as well as embellished temples accentuated with rhinestones and etchings. Each frame is named after one of Loeb’s songs with colors ranging from neutral tones to bursts of turquoise, lavender, lemon ice and cherry red.

According to Craig Glasser, Classique Eyewear CEO, “As soon as we announced our partnership with Lisa, Classique Eyewear’s website has been inundated with thousands of requests for Lisa Loeb Eyewear.”
