Whitney Port is launching an affordable sister line to her Whitney Eve collection, entitled WE by Whitney Eve, while Tom Ford has designed eyewear that will set you back a cool $3000.
The star of ‘The City’ has designed a more accessible range, WE by Whitney Eve, to complement her main line, Whitney Eve.
Comprising five styles for spring and a bigger offering for fall, the wallet-friendly collection will be available exclusively at Apricot Lane boutiques in the US.
On offer are a black catsuit ($139), cream skirt ($104), cream blazer ($130), navy dress ($119) and cream blouse ($93).
Whitney will be launching the collection with a “garden tea party” at the Apricot Lane store in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, on April 19.
The reality-TV-star-turned-designer will be on hand to mingle with guests while they peruse the range.
Whitney Eve, which was established in 2008, fuses the best of Los Angeles and New York style, mirroring Whitney’s bi-coastal aesthetic.
She previously explained, “It’s really bright and really a mix of business sophisticate with a funky street-girl aesthetic – the good mix of LA and New York vibes.
“My style is pretty eclectic depending on my mood.
“When I was living in New York, it was a bit more sophisticated and businesswoman-ish.
“Once I moved back to LA, it became easy-going and comfortable.
“These days, it’s all about comfort. When I have to get dressed up I do, but I feel like I wear a good mix of sharp New York and laid-back LA.”
Tom Ford’s special edition optical line boasts a price tag of $2,950.
In a press release, the company stated, “Inspired by the enduring elegance of 1950s eyewear, Ford has created a new frame for women and a frame for men made of the finest quality gold-plated metal with precious water buffalo horn on the front and the temple tips.
“These gently retro-influenced frames represent the highest levels of design and fabrication in eyewear. Subtly luxurious and crafted with meticulous workmanship, the two styles are some of the most refined ever offered by TOM FORD EYEWEAR.”
The luxury line will comprise of frames made from gold-plated metal and water buffalo horn and will come in soft leather cases presented in a Bakelite box with a soft brown lining.
A certificate of authenticity, a chamois cloth and a special cleansing cream are included in every set.
The women’s frame is yellow gold-plated metal with brown and grey striped horn or yellow gold-plated metal with white and grey striped horn.
The men’s frame will come in white gold-plated metal and brown and grey striped horn or yellow gold-plated metal with black striped horn.
