Danny Gokey, famous for wearing a different variety of glasses while performing on the American Idol stage, has started his own line of eyewear. FramesDirect and Danny Gokey are proud to announce that 10% of all the proceeds from Danny Gokey Eyeglasses will go to benefit Sophia’s Heart Foundation, a charity started by Danny Gokey in memory of his wife.

Danny has previously stated that he wanted to come out with a line of glasses. “I want to come out with a line of glasses,” says the third-place finisher, known for his fashionable array of eyewear. “And hopefully somehow tie into the foundation [his deceased wife Sophia's Heart Foundation]. Maybe some of the proceeds can help whatever we try to do for the foundation. I would really like to start a Danny line or a Gokey line.”

Danny stated he started out the season of Idol with only 15 pairs of glasses, but since appearing on the show, “glasses have been raining out of the sky,” and he’s up to more than 50 pairs. He also says he’d like to model eyeglasses as well.

In addition to having his own line of eyewear, Gokey says he’d jump at the chance to model glasses as well. “I would love to be an eyeglass model. I’m serious,” he says. “That would be so cool. I haven’t been offered anything yet because I’m just leaving the American Idol bubble right now. I hope I made glasses cool for kids. That was kind of the word that I got on the street—that kids were kind of excited to wear glasses again.”

“On the record, I would love to do anything glasses-wise,” he adds.
