Capsule collection brings warmth, personal expression and everyday style to eyewear

TORONTO, April 16, 2026 /CNW/ - Specsavers unveils its newest designer collaboration with Hilary MacMillan, championing Canadian design with a brand celebrated for its confident aesthetic, extended sizing and empowered approach to fashion. The Specsavers x Hilary MacMillan eyewear collection includes 13 optical frames and four sunglasses.

Drawing on Hilary's love for '70s style, the new Specsavers x Hilary MacMillan eyewear collection plays with colour transitions, sculptural silhouettes and discreet tartan accents, inspired by her Scottish heritage, for timeless eyewear that's easy to reach for again and again.

"As someone who's worn glasses on and off throughout my life, I've always understood how deeply personal eyewear is," said Hilary MacMillan. "Intention is everything. I'm always thinking about how something fits, how it feels, how it empowers the wearer. That same philosophy guided this collection. We set out to create pieces that are elegantly understated: cool, modern and wearable for everyday life."

Hilary's focus on confidence and self-expression is reflected throughout the collection, shaping pieces designed to help wearers feel seen.

"When values align, collaboration feels effortless," said Juan Carlos Camargo, Product Director at Specsavers Canada. "Hilary's approach to fashion mirrors our mission to make high quality eyewear easily accessible to Canadians. Together, we focused on creating a versatile collection, that balances strong design and personal expression with everyday wearability." 

"Partnering with Specsavers was an easy decision," said MacMillan. "They helped bring my vision for the collection to life in a way that felt natural for our brand."

The designer eyewear collection starts at $199 for two pairs and is available at all Specsavers locations beginning April 17. To learn more, visit specsavers.ca
