Kingsley Rowe recently launched its very first campaign entitled “Shared Vision,” celebrating style and creativity. Shared Vision introduces and praises Los Angeles and New York entrepreneurs who have made their unique visions a reality. These eight notables include leaders in the world of food, fashion, art and photography. Sharing with the public how they fulfilled their dreams, they were given the chance to model their favorite Kingsley Rowe frames in their own artistic atmospheres.

Visionaries include artist Zoe Buckman, photographer Ben Watts, Hollywood stylist Sophie Lopez, co-owners of popular LA restaurant Alma Ari Taymor and Ashleigh Parsons, DJ and fashion retail owner May Kwok, “Taste The Style” creator and co-founder of DAILE beauty brand Cyndi Ramirez, founder of The Posters and former model Athena Currey, and style consultant Andrew Weitz. “It was a privilege and a pleasure being welcomed into the professional spaces of some of today’s most celebrated creatives and entrepreneurs,” says Romy Kurlansky, founder of Kingsley Rowe. “We draw inspiration from each of their creative visions and unique paths to success.”

These selected “creatives” offered insight on their vision, lifestyle and of course, their favorite Kingsley Rowe eyewear pieces. Athena Currey, founder of a charitable art e-commerce website, eloquently stated her advice on making your vision a reality. “Start with a very thought-out plan, and then be prepared to change it,” says Currey. “Things that are good in theory may not actually work in reality. Being flexible allows the business to organically form and gives it space to grow.” Style consultant Andrew Weitz’s response was a bit more concise: “One word: Passion.” When asked how the frames he chose reflect his personal style, Weitz responded, “I am a fashion-forward gentleman. My style is like a cocktail. It’s a mixture of edgy, conservative, chic, hip and dandy; all of which I think these frames reflect.”

Kingsley Rowe’s unisex collection effortlessly combines vintage and contemporary influences and designs with craftsmanship that perfectly complements these creative entrepreneurial influencers. It’s refreshing to see a brand like Kingsley Rowe supporting those that are finding their vision and in turn making it a reality. These creators prove that it’s always possible to follow your passions and do what inspires you.
