Designer Jamie Lim has found a way to combine two of ’08’s big themes, social enterprise and large specs, with her creation of the sustainable sunglasses company KAYU. Frustrated in her role as an IT consultant, she wanted work with a triple bottom line focus and broke off on her own. Her first frames are light yellow and made of bamboo, creating a nice break from the seemingly unending stream of Tom Fords. Additional KAYU styles and colors will be available by the end of the year, and the best part is that each pair sold pays for sight-restoring surgery in Ghana and India through Unite for Sight. Looks good, does good.
