Karen Walker Launches Men’s Eyewear Line, Monumental
Quick Take: Karen Walker steps into men’s eyewear with the Monumental collection—adding a modernist take on styles from the 1930s and 1950s.
Wearer: The modern man.
Specifics: Six styles make up this inaugural collection.
Selling Points: The Monumental eyewear line originates from the design studios of Karen Walker, carrying the same cult credibility and quality. “It was exciting this time to shift the focus entirely to men,” said Walker. “It just felt like the right time to reassess the concept of modern masculinity. When we talk about what it is to be a man now, it’s such a fluid concept. And yet, there’s also this wonderful permanence. We wanted to capture that. To be subversive and classic at the same time.”
The materials used in this collection including clear, black horn and tortoise shell acetates, silver and gold metal and polarized or classic lens colors of smoke, brown and green exude this theme of “honest masculine simplicity.”
Price Guide: $$$$ to $$$$$

Bausch + Lomb Introduces renu Advanced Formula Multi-Purpose Solution
Quick Take: Bausch + Lomb has launched renu Advanced Formula multi-purpose solution for soft and silicone hydrogel contact lenses.
Specifics: The new solution combines three disinfectants and two surfactants to provide excellent lens cleaning and disinfection, in addition to all-day comfort, B+L said.
Selling Points: In 1987, Bausch + Lomb was the first company to bring an “all-in-one” multi-purpose disinfection solution to the market with the launch of the renu brand, which has grown to over 3 million loyal users today. B+L also noted that the launch “speaks to the continued growth of Bausch + Lomb’s Consumer Healthcare business.” The new renu Advanced Formula multi-purpose solution will be the only renu solution on the market, as this product will replace renu sensitive and renu fresh beginning in June 2017 at major retailers.
