Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice President of the United States in 2008 as the running mate for John McCain, was wearing Kazuo Kawasaki 704 eyeglasses during the presidential campaign.

The glasses are part of a reported $150.000 wardrobe that the former Alaskan Governor put together in a few days. She was assisted by Lisa A. Kline, an independent stylist who was asked to prepare the candidate for an important meeting of the Republican Party. The enormous amount that was spent on clothes for Palin and her whole family sparked a minor row in the United States.

The eyeglasses are still available, for example here and cost around $330.
