The McGee Group launches its Badgley Mischka Eyewear collection targeted to women seeking glamorous, timeless styling. Showcased here is the 14-piece ophthalmic collection. An eight-piece sunglass line will be previewed in an upcoming 20/20. Featuring the latest in design techniques, the Badgley Mischka eyewear collection is inspired by Badgley Mischka’s signature fabrics, layering and draping. Custom colors are highlighted through multilayered transparent silk screening. Swarovski crystals and European components reinforce quality.
