an uptown aesthetic fuses creatively with downtown edge in Nicole Miller’s apparel designs. The celebrated fashion designer—who trained at the prestigious l’ École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne in Paris—is known for her iconic bright prints and eclectic, globally-inspired style.

She is also known for her eponymous eyewear collection from L’Amy. The line includes a range of rich colors plus exquisite and unexpected details and on-trend, modern shapes.

Here, Miller sits down with Eyecare Business to chat about eyewear + her personal passions.

What you love most about eyewear…
Eyewear can enhance your appearance, as well as your sight!

On the key eyewear trends for spring…
I love the new mirrored lenses!

My Fall 2017 runway show. We’re following up our Pre-Fall presentation (at a tattoo parlor!) with a show that is just as edgy.

The one sunwear style that every woman should have in her wardrobe…
Aviators.

Favorite thing to do when not working…
Skiing or waterskiing, and cooking.
