Jillian Urcelay: How would you describe the ELLE eyewear customer?
Michele Ziss: The ELLE eyewear customer is typically a woman 30-plus age, who is always dynamic, always bold and always chic. She is feminine, independent and confident. She loves fashion but knows what she wants and creates her own look. She wants to feel special, without standing out too much. She is curious, inventive and open minded. It’s not about being perfect but about feeling perfectly good just as we are.

What design details and special features can we see in ELLE’s autumn/winter release?
In the ELLE autumn/winter release, there are four new models in sheer ELLE style: classic yet contemporary, French-girl feminine and uniquely individual. Vintage and wave motifs signal new Bohemian influences fused with dimensional shapes and various materials. Key colors include white and light gray for a clean look, botanical green and blue for a natural vibe, and bold black or dark red for a touch of sophistication. In February, ELLE will support American Heart Month. Look out for special offers and ways to support the cause.

For the month of October, Charmant USA and Isaac Mizrahi New York are partnering to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Why is this foundation important to Charmant?
Being Isaac Mizrahi’s Birthday month, we wanted to honor October with a meaningful cause. Charmant USA and Isaac Mizrahi New York are thrilled to partner to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer can impact anyone around us. The more BCRF can discover and research, the more it will help people suffering from this disease and further prevent it. We are grateful to contribute by raising awareness and funding for BCRF to help save lives. Collectively, Charmant USA and Isaac Mizrahi New York want to make a difference.
