Stella McCartney Signs Deal with Luxottica
Do you like this story?
Stella McCartney signed a five year deal last week with the Luxottica Group to design sunglasses for the upcoming season.
The first pairs will be available in 2009, and it is not clear if she will make her own line of eyewear, or design something for an existing Luxottica brand. Luxottica is the worlds largest group of fashion eyewear brands, owning many popular names such as D&G, Bvlgari, Vogue, Chanel and even Oakley as of 2007.
I guess it is expected that Stella will take her classical chic look and transfer into some shades and we will probably see something nice come out of this. Let’s just hope she stays away from Oakley, oh and the music industry.
