Paris Hilton Launches Sunglass Collection

A socialite, a model, an actress… Go on and on to describe this unusual girl. Do you know who I am talking about? I guess you do, it’s Paris Hilton.


Paris is often unpredictable in her action. But this time she has done what she had to do long ago. She has launched her own sunglass collection that is sure to be a success as she feels what’s right to wear.

And this is not just my opinion, read what says Jimmy Jongebloed, the President and CEO of GEI, the company Hilton had teamed up to create the line with:

"Paris has an amazing eye for sunglass style and design. Her focus on her own personal fashion, combined with an unmatched marketing ability, is the key to why she is so successful and her products are sought after worldwide.Together, we are a powerful team and our intent is to make a lasting statement in the retail and optical industry internationally"



Paris Hilton officially launched the Paris Hilton Sunglass collection by Gripping Eyewear at Vision Expo East 2009 in New York City on 27 March.

She was wearing a beautiful red dress and sparkly shoes when posing to promote her new line of sunglasses in NYC. Besides, Paris was spotted wearing a short mini-dress of a tender blue color and a headband of the same tone.

The girl was very happy about her own collection. She wrote in her blog: “It’s no secret that I adore sunglasses, and I am excited to finally have a collection of my own.

We all want options on what to wear given our own personal style, so introducing sunglasses that give people stylish choices and unique features is really important to me. Everyone’s taste is different, but I’m convinced that anyone can enhance their look with the right sunglasses. It’s all about fashion and having fun with your look.”

Paris had been working long with GEI to sketch designs and provide her input for the collection, which is going to be available at select stores this fall.

She’d designed not only the sunglass range but also the accompanying line of accessories that includes patented lens wraps, sunglass stands and visor clips, all made to help the consumer to store, display and protect their sunglasses.

Unfortunately we have just one photo of hers wearing a pair of sunglasses from her new line. But that’s enough to understand it’ll be very interesting and unusual.

Blogshopping - a solution for shopping during recession

Remind me again if we are not living in the 21st century. Remind me again if the world we live in has drastically been altered by the winds of the tumultuous vicissitudes of the technology, that the fashion we know before has but indomitably been morphed by the sweeping changes made to our lifestyle.


Fashion, along with how we shop, how we live and what matters most, has been revolutionized altogether since the intervention of novel methods and styles to the Fashion industry. What previously has to warrant hours of effort and time to toil the streets and malls of what we called fashion, has now reduced to minutes and snappy decisions on our personal Fashion sense dependent only on our ability to choose and prefer. So much so that we have developed many new ways to shop online and adapt to the demands of a protean Fashion industry, like Blogshopping- where internet denizens can now browse, select and purchase a myriad of fashion apparels online, with ease and the luxury of choices.


With the current downfall in the economies around the world, recession has become the most prevalent and perilous conundrum consumers are facing in the modern sodality we live in. Recession can weaken the spirit of consumers’ interest in purchasing, further spirally the already thickening problem of financial crises.

Blogshopping, as a solution for shopping during recession, can possibly ameliorate the sticky issue, motivating people to spend and re-invigorate the already moribund economy. There are a plethora of reasons why Netizens should blogshop, helping the revival of the dying economy and generating more consumer trust within the sodality. With the ease and comfort online shopping can offer, especially with the abundance of choices, flexibility and originality blogs can offer to customers, I believe online shopping will be able to entice more customers to purchase online as compared to the stigma of buying products physically. Blogshops offer a more introspective and novel approach for consumers to better understand the nature, style and choices available to them before they actually make an informed decision.


Gone were the days of rustic mall-creeping and tiresome trips to the fashion complexes. With blogshopping, consumers can get what they want speedily, have a wide array of choices to select their best fashion sense from, enjoy privileges and discounts, discuss about cool fashion tips and do all these, in the comforts of their homes. Recession? What recession? With the advent of blogshopping, fashion businesses have creatively enhanced our competitive edge and allowed more people to be exposed to the fashion industry. Previously unreached countries and places can now order limited edition apparels anywhere and anytime. Now I believe that will be a great escape from the recession, a plus for Netizens to purchase and blogshop, regardless of how bad the economy is.


Blogshopping is the new fad in town, the pinnacle of modernity and the bijou of fashion shopping today. It is a great solution for shopping during a recession because it can offer so much in so little time and space, utilising the puissant internet to its advantage and allow anybody who’s anybody to have access to it-a far cry from contemporary shopping at the malls, where obviously customers will refrain during a recession! So long as you have the Internet and a strong Passion for Fashion, blogshopping is the way to go when you wish to shop anywhere, anytime!

Expect to see designer-clad mini me-s as the brand translates its signature, pared-down aesthetic, iconic check, quilting and that trench coat for a very junior audience, aged from newborn to 14 years-old.

"We are thrilled to be opening our first freestanding childrenswear store here in London," says Angela Ahrendts, Burberry's chief executive officer. "The store on Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill is in a great location and in a wonderful family neighbourhood."
