TRANSITIONS PARTNERS WITH FASHION DESIGNER CHRISTIAN SIRIANO CFDA designer Christian Siriano is partnering with Transitions Optical as the ambassador for its new brand campaign, Light Under Control. The partnership comes as the brand aims to mod- ernize itself, focusing more on style and fashion, and addressing consumers’ desires to personalize their eyewear. Announced earlier this year, Light Under Control was launched to attract new, young single-vision wearers to the photochromic lens category by showcasing the relevant benefits of Transitions lenses in today’s fast-paced world. “I’m excited to partner with Transitions to help inspire fashion-forward eyeglass wearers to further customize their look with lens colour,” said Siriano. “I believe getting dressed everyday should be a fun experience so why should your eyewear be any different? I love that Transitions lenses give wearers an opportunity to have it all – you get freedom of expres- sion and comfortable vision day and night in a single, stylish lens.” Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses adjust to the perfect tint, whatever light outdoors. They also help protect from UV rays and harmful blue light indoors and out. “The bold, new look we’ve established through our Light Under Control campaign is perfectly complemented by our partnership with Chris- tian Siriano,” says Patience Cook, director, North America marketing, Transitions Optical. “As a fashion designer, Siriano is known for his show-stopping designs that not only allow people to feel stylish, but also help them feel comfortable wearing them. The Transitions brand benefits echo Siriano’s desires, making him the ideal spokesper- son as we reposition our products.” To make the brand more relatable to style-savvy consumers, Siriano will challenge people to use Transitions lenses to style their everyday eyewear in a manner that reflects their personal look. With a collection of colourful, smart lenses that automati- cally adapt in the sun, Transitions lenses offer one more customizable accessory for consumers looking to flaunt their personal flair.
