Rose-tinted contacts

The Royal College of Art is hosting a sunglasses show during London Fashion Week. Retailers and style victims will be able to view a wide range of shades and network their socks off.

Or perhaps more than their socks, judging by the information sought by the organisers. To them, the networking side is obviously taking first place. Trade tickets ask those attending if they are married/co-habiting, single, fanciable or up for a date.

And, of course, everybody attending should look far more attractive than usual through those rose-tinted glasses.
