Pastelle, the much much anticipated clothing label from Kanye West, has been very discreet. But finally, now we get glimpse of its sunglass collaboration with Ksubi, an Australian fashion label known amongst many celebrities. Ksubi designer, George Gorrow, first worked with Kanye in 2006 to create stage eyewear for his music videos. The line will be launched in October and will feature a limited edition gold frame sunglasses that will go for around $2000.
This is definitely a collaboration worth waiting for, as it seems like Kanye and George Gorrow make for a strong team as Kanye says, “I love the sunnies Ksubi has produced over the years, and it’s an honour to collaborate with them on this first installment of Pastelle frames, George is an incredibly talented designer, and I’ve never met anyone who knew more about sunglasses and other cool stuff.”

The idea of Brigada eyewear was first conceived in early 2006 by Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, Terry Kennedy and Erik Ellington. Since there were no skater owned and operated sunglass brands the four got together. They came up with the name Brigada, sketched up a logo and gathered up all the ideas for shades they would like to see made. Before they knew it they had something real and people were starting to take notice. Fast forward to 2008 and Brigada eyewear is set to launch their debut collection. Consisting of nine different styles, including pro models for each of the four skaters. The glasses all feature spring fit hinges, 100% UV protection, and a hand-polished finish. Available Summer 2008 at select skate shops worldwide.
