Announcing the sophomore line of the Selima for June Ambrose collection!

Few in the world of fashion are as passionate and well revered for what they do as June Ambrose. The celebrity stylist is known for her spots on HSN, Project Runway, The X Factor, The View, The Today Show, and as guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She has crafted looks for fashionable icons like Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Diddy, Jay Z, & Will Smith. Most notably, she gained her own VH1 television show, “Styled By June” in 2012.

Since being involved in fashion styling in the early 90s, June Ambrose has become an icon in her own right, setting trends globally. Her enthusiastic and candid approach toward style has developed a massive following of admirers, always coming back for more.

As collaborators with June of yesteryear, Selima Optique is no different. We had to come back for more.

We’re honored to present the second line of the Selima for June Ambrose collection.

Edna

Retro style is fused with futurism in the Edna, an oblong frame shape with square lenses, referencing a bold style from the mid-90s Selima Optique Collection. The Enda is available in a subtle blue crystal, graphic blonde horn, and solid black.

Dora

Round shaped frames have maintained a chic fashion statement, and June Ambrose sets the standard. A reissued style from the mid-90s Selima Optique Collection, the new Dora is available in Tokyo tortoise, taupe crystal, and black.

Missy

The Missy will have you standing out and turning heads from SoHo to the South of France with its ‘super-cat eye’ shape, another reissued style from the 90s, re-envisioned by Selima & June. Missy comes in Tokyo tortoise, black, and blue floral.

Monte Carlo

The Monte Carlo, a redesign of our Dre frame, comes in an assortment of two-tone colors, black/matte silver, green/lime, orange/black, and blue/red, matching your every look with this classic aviator style.

Daphne

The Daphne is a bold double-bridged design adorned with innovative, contrasting temple colors. Daphne is available in black/coral, emerald/tortoise, and crystal grey/black.

The new Selima for June Ambrose collection is now available at Selima Optique stores, online, and select retailers worldwide.

Help Her 'See the World' this Mother's Day

With Mother's Day around the corner, consider an update to her eyewear collection as one gift that's certain to keep giving as she'll be destined to get year's of practical use from your token of appreciation.

Take our Alabama's (above) for instance, as they fit a variety of face shapes while boasting a timeless quality to them which should guarantee a proper fit just in case you are weary on the ease of gifting eyewear.

Slightly retro and amped with unexpected color, it's near impossible to think she won't fall for our Love sunglasses as they'll help her uplift her look & spirits year-round.

And if finding the right pair for her seems too great a challenge, give her an incentive to update her frames with a gift card or visit one of our stockists or shops with her this Sunday.

Eyewear Suggestions for Prom & Wedding Season

With prom & wedding season just around the corner we've culled some optical & sun eyewear suggestions from our line for you to consider when looking for options that will help you chicly standout from the crowd.

Ladies

You've spent the time looking for that perfect dress, why not take it a step further and surprise them with a new pair of opticals? Let our slightly dramatic Adriana frames uplift your look with a bit of retro appeal thanks to an uber feminine curved shape that's far from standard.

While our best-selling Candace frames also boast a retro shape that suggests a confident take on old-school Hollywood glamor, their sleek, minimal vibe should take you well past the spring/summer event season.

Gentlemen

Add a classic punctuation point to your dapper look with our Mike frames.

Inspired by legendary actor Steve McQueen, our amber Steve sunglasses should work wonders when paired with the season's requisite lighter hued suiting options.
