Ray-Ban and New York-based artist Maya Hayuk partnered to customize and hand-paint 150 pairs of the iconic Wayfarers exclusively for Sunglass Hut for a good cause. Each pair will be completely unique and one-of-a-kind, a true piece of wearable art. Some of the designs reminds me of Skittles which puts a smile on my face- fun and happy sunglasses. The vibrant Wayfarers retail for $140, the regular price of the Wayfarer, with 50% of the proceeds going to Luxottica’s charity, OneSight. 50 pairs of the sunglasses will be available at the Sunglass Hut boutique in SoHo, New York – hitting the store on Black Friday (11.27.2009) and 50 pairs will become available in the San Francisco boutique on Cyber Monday (11.30.2009). The remaining 50 pairs will be available at www.sunglasshut.com. Maya will also create an installation in the windows so that shoppers can watch her work in action, her murals on display in each store will also be auctioned off in support of OneSight.

Spotted the new Ksubi Eyewear spring 2010 collection dubbed “Book Club” at FashionWindows and immediately fell in love with it! The Ksubi 09/10 Eyewear Collection consists of 13 unisex frames inspired by pop comic, steam punk and vintage that are straight, sharp, modern, architectural, and left virtually unpolished. The new frames are absolutely amazing, I’m obsessed with the Chanel 5018-inspired round frame in this collection. I’m definitely going to try to get my hands on a pair since I’ve been dreaming of owning a pair of the Chanel half-tinted frames, these will be a quick fix! More pics after the jump…

The Oliver Peoples spring 2010 campaign will debut in November. This spring, key styles in the collection include Rees, Josselyn, Altman, Barrie, Sacha and Sheldrake which is my personal favorite. Can’t wait till the collection drops in February 2010!

It was a matter of time that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen launches their own eyewear collection since they’re both always out in shades, now they can rock their own. The twins has partnered with Linda Farrow Eyewear to launch an eyewear collection for spring under their luxury label, The Row, according to WWD. The collection features four styles: a classic metal aviator, an oversize square frame, vintage-inspired brow-line rims and a pair of round shades taken from the Sixties, retailing from $325 to $390. The collection will be sold at current retailers, including Barneys New York and Bergdorf Goodman. Definitely styles that the Olsens would rock, I’m sure it will do just as well as all their other collections.

Photography: Celebrity Paradise I’ve been wondering what happened to Paris Hilton, she’s been on the low for a minute. Haven’t really seen her out and about or may be I dont’ really pay much attention to her? Anyway, this past Friday Paris Hilton debuted her spring 2010 sunglasses collection by Gripping Eyewear at The Vision Expo in Las Vegas. Of course the sunglasses are inspired by the heiress herself, would you wear Paris Hilton sunglasses? On a side note, what’s with her outfits? More pics after the jump… |
