Zenni Video Contest – Third Place Winner!
- BY Matthew Surrence
Jim Truong of City of Industry, Calif., created an animated video that wittily and imaginatively showed how different styles of Zenni glasses are indispensable components of various put-together looks. He said he wears glasses because “I like to fall asleep at odd hours and not worry about taking off my contacts. I hate poking my eyeball.”
Check out his video below and let us know if you have any tips for upping your fashion game with Zennis!

Questions about the crew:
