Sunnies Studios co-founder, Georgina Wilson chats with Tatler about how the brand has evolved and why we should invest in anti-radiation eyewear
Model, host and Gen T 2016 honouree, Georgina Wilson has been the face of numerous publications and fashion campaigns in the Philippines. But behind the glitz and glamour, Wilson is also working behind the scenes as one of Sunnies Studios' co-founders.
The eyewear brand has garnered a cult following since it was founded in 2013. Serving as a stop-shop for sunglasses and now, as a full-service optical brand, Sunnies Studios is redefining eyewear as an everyday comfort and pleasure.
As the brand launches a new anti-radiation collection, Tatler caught up with Wilson to talk about how Sunnies Studios has evolved over the years and why we should invest in anti-radiation eyewear.

What’s the story behind Sunnies Studios?
Sunnies Studios was founded through our love for design. Through the years we’ve been perfecting products for everyday use for both comfort and pleasure, whether that meant staying in, or something you’d be wearing outside. We made sure they were accessible, and that prices were inclusive.
We continue to ship internationally, and run the business in the most responsible way we can. This means also looking into every step of our production process and supply chain. Our styles are a mix of contemporary, most are vintage-inspired, and classic silhouettes—you’ll easily have them as your eyewear staples.
How has the brand evolved since you started?
When we started in 2013, our assortment was focused on sunglasses, being founded in the Philippines where the weather was and is, tropical and mostly sunny. We then expanded to optical, and will still be expanding in the next year with an exciting new product category.
We launched Specs on Wheels locally for the convenience of eyewear checkups in the comforts of your home. We’ve produced special merch for our fans, the recent one was a Nalgene water bottle produced together with One Tree Planted.
