Oakley and Rag & Bone collaborate on new shades
California eyewear brand Oakley has teamed up with Rag & Bone on a new line of limited edition sunglasses.
Last year, Oakley and Rag & Bone created a special version of the M-Frame sunglasses for the label's Spring-Summer 2013 womenswear show at New York Fashion Week. Now they've teamed up again to create two limiedt edition edits of the famous Oakley 'Frogskin' eyewear.
Rag & Bone's managing partners, British duo Marcus Wainwright and David Neville were enthusiastic about the collaboration:
"I've been wearing Oakleys forever and have always been in love with their Frogskins. In my opinion they are one of the greatest inventions in eyewear ever, so it was really exciting to have the opportunity to work with Oakley - first on the women's runway show and now on this special collaboration," explained Wainwright.
The glasses either come in all black ($125) or a digital camo print ($150), lifted from the Spring-Summer 2013 menswear collection. "We wanted to create styles that guys and girls alike would love to wear. We chose to create one classic pair and a fun print one," added Neville.
The two styles are available in limited numbers from this week, exclusively in Rag & Bone's retail stores in the US and online.
