Sofia Vergara has debuted a chic new eyewear line in an attempt to modernize her “grandma”-like glasses.
The new “America’s Got Talent” judge claims she began losing her vision when she was 40 years old, and she told designers she was tired of feeling “old” everytime she wore spectacles.
“When I turned 40, 41, 42, I started losing my sight. It’s the normal thing that happens at that age. I refused to wear glasses because I felt old. I was like, ‘No, I’m going to hold it. I don’t need them. I don’t need them’,” she told people.com.
“We’re going to have to use them no matter what at this age, so at least use something that makes you look cute, not like you’re the little grandma.”
“Those little ones at the top of your nose make you look like a granny if you’re reading or something. And I hate that. I prefer the ones that are bold and already a statement, not tiny little things that sit on your nose.”
“Now that I am home reading so much more, I know how important they are to so many of us. I also know a woman wants to feel good when wearing them, wherever she is. I wanted to offer fashionable, chic, fresh eyewear styles, allowing women to not just to see, but to see beautifully.”
‘Modern Family’ star claims she’s been reading a lot more during the lockdown.
“Now that I am home reading so much more, I know how important they are to so many of us. I also know a woman wants to feel good when wearing them, wherever she is. I wanted to offer fashionable, chic, fresh eyewear styles, allowing women to not just to see, but to see beautifully.”
Foster Grant’s RestoringVision organization will profit from the revenues of the sales.
The Sofia Vergara x Foster Grant collection is now available to buy on the internet.
Sofia isn’t the only celebrity with a new eyewear line releasing this week. Lizzo is the face of the Confidence is Quay campaign, which promotes a collection of sassy new sunglasses for the Australian company.
