AC's Jenny Woo Picks the Season's Hottest Designer Eyewear

Hollywood

This week the season's unpredictable cold snap turned decidedly warm and sunny in Southern California.

Its finally time to lighten up and shed those rain boots and kick up your heels!

AC asked its Hollywood resident filmmaker and writer Jenny Woo to step off the production set and model her favorite picks for us.

What better way to update your wardrobe in a flash! One moment you can have the elegance of Audrey Hepburn, and the next you can take on the rocker vibe of Lady Gaga. 

Here's what Jenny has to say:

WHAT'S NEW

Along with the vintage classic Campbell frames at the Tom Ford table were some very unique cateye sunglasses.

Current style seems to be focused on big and round.

Marcolin USA has been the sole manufacturer for Tom Ford sunglasses and has recently renewed a deal to continue being Tom Ford's sole manufacturer for the next 11 years.
 
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW BUT SHOULD CHECK OUT

Not many people know Tod's makes sunglasses, but they do and they do them well. The style is very simple and light, and I loved the detail of the woven leather in the frame.

WHAT'S COOL

DSquared2. Their angular shapes, a matte-black frame, wood detailing: DSquared2 sunglasses seem futuristic yet wearable for today.
