Born in New York City in 1963, Marc Jacobs has been winning awards for his work for almost as long as he has been designing. The new Marc Jacobs sunglass collection is unlikely to break with this tradition.

The lines are very simple and minimalist, underscored by classic colours for more masculine models and delicate hues for women's frames. The look alternates large square designs with softened or rounded corners and oval designs, with logo detailing subtly laser-engraved on small plaques on the temples.

Iris Optical introduced Marc Jacobs sunglasses in October 2006.
