Heston Blumenthal has recipe for specs appeal
HESTON BLUMENTHAL has created a range of spectacles for Vision Express and is passionate about everyone having the right eyewear – if only to stop embarrassing moments.
“I was filming for the World’s Biggest Christmas Pudding, driving a cement mixer round Kent,” Heston, 46, told Day & Night at the Vision Express Oxford Street fl agship store in London where he was joined by Alex James, Emma Forbes and Grace Woodward.
“I pulled up at this bakery and tipped half a kilo of flour in the mixer. But it was raining and in the wet and wind I got covered in fl our and it got stuck to my jacket. So I’m walking around a beautiful state-of-the-art shop with these really dodgy manky white stains on my black jacket. I was having to explain what it was: ‘Look, it’s just fl our!’ It shows that if people don’t put their glasses on, forget it.”
