WHILE THOSE OF the female ersuasion might look to Barbie to influence their style, men should note the shift away from gender conforming eyewear shapes into a new era of androgyny where an angular cat eye is no longer reserved for the ladies’ section. Ken may not have blazed the trail, but he brought it mainstream, heralding a new chapter in fashion where the bold embrace of pulchritude in men’s accessories is not just accepted but celebrated.
