Madonna On Your Face

Questionable phrase to introduce this post but not totally misleading... The first summer rays of 2010 have been teasing their way through my window this week and so i thought it was time to bring you the latest from the world of designer sunglasses.

The big news is that trend-setter Madonna is putting her commerical weight (and tiny name tag) behind a new Dolce & Gabbana range that will go on sale this May – giving you a handy new option should there be a special birthday coming up.

The collection incorporates a distinctive letter ‘M’ (that will be for Madonna) on the arm and will retail for around £120. It’s the first co-branding venture Madge and the designer range have embarked on to date.

Look out for the advertising images for the MDGs that have been shot by Steven Klein in ‘fim noir’ style and starring – you guessed it – pop star and businesswoman, Madonna. Now all we need is for the sun to come out again...

FABRIS LANE X JAMES LONG

James Long is a name on many menswear corners, making a name for himself from his MAN Topman collection and Fashion East involvements, he's the current darling of the young London menswear scene and has now re focused his sights for a second time to pair up with Fabris Lane, the covetable eyewear label for the second time.

They are releasing a range of sunglasses which are in military greens, black and metallic leather. Playing with the aviator shape with camouflage and foiled leather in protective layers, the unique metal-framed glasses combined with two-tone lenses are evidence of Long's creativity combined with Fabris Lane's quality craftsmanship.
