SMITHFIELD, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FGX International, a leading eyewear designer and marketer, announces the launch of Kat Graham x Foster Grant, a capsule collection of designer sunglasses from the globally recognized eyewear brand, Foster Grant, and actress, musician, and humanitarian, Kat Graham. The collaborative, limited-edition collection features nine modern, edgy designs drawn from worldwide trends personally curated by Kat Graham, and available exclusively on FosterGrant.com.
The Kat Graham x Foster Grant collection marks Kat’s first foray into fashion design, and the first in a series of styles to be released. Together with Foster Grant’s Creative Director and Vice President of Product Development, Matthew Coon, Kat developed elevated, trend-focused, statement-making styles at a remarkably competitive $35 a pair.
“I’m incredibly emotional about my collection with Foster Grant,” said Kat Graham, “I really get excited when I see young girls experimenting with fashion and trends because on a deeper level that’s them finding their voice. With Foster Grant, I was able to truly collaborate on a collection of trend-right styles that I’m so proud of - and at the most accessible price points! Foster Grant fans will be able to snag a bunch of different pairs for whatever look they’re going for.”
“Working with Kat for four years has been such a profound experience for us at Foster Grant. She has a heart of gold and genuinely wanted to create a collection of sunglasses that would promote individuality, versatility and fun, inspiring fans to experiment with their own unique look,” said Gina Lazaro, Chief Marketing Officer at FGX International. “We are thrilled to bring Kat’s collection to our devoted customers.”
The campaign was photographed by Harold Julian in Los Angeles. The shoot showcased Kat’s dynamic personality through the collection of sunglasses, ranging in style from modern cat-eyes and layered metals to colorful lenses and skinny, vintage shapes. All styles feature 100% UVA/UVB lens protection.
