Liam Payne is to become the official face of HUGO Eyewear, adding to the singer-songwriter’s new role as global brand ambassador for HUGO.

The progressive fashion brand creates designs that stand outside the status quo, and this extends to a trend-driven eyewear collection featuring unexpected shapes, colours and materials that push contemporary style to the next level.

The British musician is known for his confident sense of style, and often turns to eyewear to provide the finishing touch to a look. “Glasses and sunglasses can transform an outfit and take it from something that looks good to something that has a really individual twist”, Payne says, adding: “Representing HUGO Eyewear is a perfect fit for me. The brand completely understands what it means to care about style, and also to want something a little different from the rest.”

HUGO is distributed by Safilo.

Alcon Launches Art-focused Campaign for Cataract Awareness Month

Alcon is launching a new art-focused campaign in honour of Cataract Awareness Month, which illustrates the impact cataracts can have on seeing colour and encourages those diagnosed with cataracts to understand the benefits of cataract surgery.

Many patients are unaware that the progression of cataracts can be gradual, so it can be harder for them to notice how certain aspects of their vision have changed – including their ability to fully see colours – until the cataracts are treated. In fact, according to an Alcon survey of adults who have undergone cataract surgery, more than 65% report being surprised by the brightness and vividness of colours post-surgery.

To bring the impact of cataracts to life and illustrate the effects of cataracts on seeing colours, Alcon commissioned a piece of artwork by renowned NYC-based colour artist Monika Bravo. The artwork – featured digitally in both “clear” and “cataract” vision – can be seen by patients on MyCataracts.com, as well as on the My Cataracts by Alcon Facebook page throughout the month of June.
