Dolce&Gabbana and the singer together create a line of sunglasses for May launch
MILAN - Madonna has teamed up with Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana to design a collection of sunglasses.
Dolce&Gabbana and Madonna present MDG: the first collection of sunglasses designed by the singer together with stylists Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The first six models will be launched May 2010.
Featuring the MDG logo, the collection will be produced by Luxottica and is Madonna’s debut in the world of eyewear.
The singer designed the collection in collaboration with Italy’s most famous designer duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana and will also be the face of the MDG advertising campaign.
Fifty-one year old Madonna already appears in a campaign for the designers.
Bearing the MDG logo, the collection marks Madonna’s first foray into the world of eyewear. She has previously collaborated with high street brand Hennes & Mauritz for a clothing line.

“Designing a line of eyewear with Madonna was a new experience for us. We’ve created large, wraparound shapes that are also sexy and very feminine, just like our fashions. Madonna’s creative input was essential, also for the creation of the MDG logo”, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said.
The voyeuristic images metaphorically conjure up the essence of a star like Madonna: she is admired, spied on, adored, pursued, desired, but never totally revealed because of her dark glasses and aura of mystery.
