Editors Letter

When was the last time you truly reflected on your eyewear—not just as something practical, but as a defining feature of your style and self-expression? Often, we underestimate the power of our frames. They do more than simply enhance our vision; they frame our world and influence how we present ourselves to others. Sometimes it’s only when someone pays us a compliment that we realise just how much impact they have.

At Lookbook Magazine, we’re here to remind you that eyewear is an art form—a way to express your individuality and elevate your everyday look. This isn’t just about seeing clearly; it’s about being seen in the best possible light. We’re passionate about bringing you the latest trends in eyewear, celebrating the fusion of fashion and function, and spotlighting the incredible Australian optometrists who keep our eyes healthy and our style game strong.

In this issue, we journey through time to revisit the iconic stars and films that have set eyewear trends ablaze, exploring how these influences continue to shape today’s fashion. We’ll also shine a light on the innovative Australian designers who are drawing inspiration from the world’s most captivating architecture and high fashion runways. Our goal is to inspire you to see your frames as more than just accessories—they are an extension of your personality, a statement of who you are.

But we’re not just about style. We’re also dedicated to your eye health. This issue offers practical advice on how to care for your eyes, with insights on why your local independent optometrist should be your go-to partner for lifelong vision care. Whether you're travelling, juggling a busy lifestyle, or looking out for your family, we have the tips you need to keep everyone’s vision in top shape.
