Sunglasses Limited Edition by Zac Posen
Zac Posen is the latest designer to branch into sunglasses, teaming on top of international eyewear brand Illesteva for his debut within the realm the following month. The exclusive edition launch includes two different shapes -- the cat eye style as well as an oval frame, with colors to add yellow, clear, tortoise, green, brown and leopard print.
Retailing at $300, the frames is going to be on sale via illesteva.com, along with boutiques including Colette and Opening Ceremony. Posen told WWD March 20 that sunglasses can play an integral part in expanding from ready-to-wear into other arenas. "As we develop the Zac Posen brand, sunglasses permit me to maintain a piece of flare and attitude for clothing that transitions into day," said Posen, who joins designers including Jean Paul Gaultier to penetrate the arena (his debut range launched in Mikli boutiques in January). Meanwhile, US jewelry designer Alexis Bittar recently revealed promises to launch eyewear in 2013.
While Illesteva's frames already have shown up at shows for labels including Gang of Outsiders, the Posen launch marks their first brand collaboration.
