National Playing Card Day is December 28, 2014. Why this day and how it started, who knows. What we do know is that playing cards have been ‘dealt’ with and in fashion for many years. From Hats, to Jackets, From Shoes to Bracelets and of course to Eyewear. Even Katy Perry wore a playing card smock dress by British designer Ashish, from his Spring/ Summer 2009 collection in the Video ‘Waking Up In Vegas”
Moschino SS12
Of course one of the most popular ‘Trashion’ Fashion is reusing playing cards. No matter, we are celebrating the wonderful day of playing cards with some special Hearts, Spades, Diamonds and Clubs Eyewear.
You can put any shape lens, or even make one lens a diamond and other other a heart from this Silhouette Frame.
