Spring Sunglasses: Alexander Wang, Olsen Twins, DVF, Albert Maysles

Spring 2010 is the season to launch a sunglasses line. That is, if you're Alexander Wang, the Olsen twins, or Diane Von Furstenberg. While Wang showcased his premiere line of specs on his football-inspired SS10 runway at New York Fashion Week; the Olsens just released images of their soon-to-debut sunglasses, which they created in collaboration with seasoned design house Linda Farrow. Now DVF is adding the accessory into the brand's repertoire for spring. Even though images have yet to surface, the company's Facebook page confirms that the designer (who was recently mugged in Madrid, but fortunately ended up safe and sound) is thisclose to her eponymous eyewear launch: "Just wrapped our eyewear shoot ... stay tuned for behind the scenes photos (and the eyewear launch in November!)."

Meanwhile, Barneys New York is serving up a new line of eyewear as well: specifically a style of glasses inspired by the legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles. One-half of the brother team behind such iconic films as Salesman, Grey Gardens, and Gimme Shelter, Maysles is never without his thick-rimmed black glasses. Barneys and California-based glasses company Barton Perreira have teamed up to reproduce a limited collection of the director’s favorite accessory. “The Madison Avenue store will host an event for Maysles on Nov. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m.,” where fans of the filmmaker can pay tribute to the director and/or scoop up specs in his honor (which will retail starting at $350).
