NEW LUXURY KIDS SUNGLASS LINE KIDRAQ IS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT CHILD SUPERMODEL
Celebrity Eyewear Designer and Principal Creative Officer of Eyecandy Creations Tiffany Williams knows how to look your best in the sun. In addition to creating lines for two of Hollywood’s most fashionable faces, Cynthia Bailey and Eva Marcille, and providing luxury eyewear for A-listers on movie sets across the country, Williams has partnered with Raquel Smith (Beyonce’s stylist) for a joint venture called Kidraq.
Co-creator Raquel Smith describes Kidraq as, “A luxury brand specializing in children’s eyewear featuring brightly colored Italian acetate frames shaped to complement and accentuate a child’s face.” The Kidraq signature series is slated to hit the market Summer 2017. In honor of August being children’s eye health and safety month, Kidraq is hosting a child model call to find the official faces for the brand.
Smith has worked with Beyonce for years, her journey beginning as an intern with the family-owned “House of Dereon” years ago. Smith quickly moved up from intern to Beyonce’s assistant stylist under then principal stylist Ty Hunter to eventually become Beyonce’s personal stylist. Raquel was intricately involved in each of Beyoncé’s world tours. She also styled Beyoncé’s red carpet appearances, video shoots, special performances, and personal wardrobe. In recent years Smith has begun to grow her own personal brand, which started with going back to school to study jewelry design. Raquel says that her bold captivating signature pieces reflect the influence that her father had on her life.
“After launching 2 successful eyewear collections, we felt it was time to do something different. We realized Kids deserved to be fabulous too, and we could not have chosen a better collaboration than with one of the most sought after celebrity stylist!” Williams explains.
KidRaq will host a casting call for child models in Atlanta on Saturday, August 12th from 10am – 2-pm at 3235 Satellite Blvd, Bldg 300, Duluth, GA 30096. Parents are encouraged to bring little ones out early for the opportunity to be one of the new faces of Kidraq.
