Kim Petras has partnered with EyeBuyDirect to share a new ‘Pride for All’ eyewear collection celebrating Pride Month. The collection includes multiple eccentric eyewear styles that celebrate individuality and being true to yourself. The colorful collection consists of styles like ‘Forever,’ ‘Positivity,’ and ‘Mandolin.’
Eight uniquely-colored glasses will be available for purchase, and EyeBuyDirect will donate all proceeds up to $50,000 USD to The Trevor Project. This nonprofit organization aims to provide accessible mental health care for LGBTQ+ youth through counseling and education, and, in doing so, intends to reduce suicide rates within this community.
“EyeBuyDirect is all about celebrating individuality and diversity, and I think that’s so important. They support the LGBTQ+ community and are such a cool brand,” says Petras. The 'Pride for All' collection is available on EyeBuyDirect.
