"When your muse is someone as timeless as Princess Grace, there's no shortage of iconic
moments from which to draw inspiration," said Claudia Poccia, Chief Executive Officer of Grace
de Monaco. "It was only natural
that the Grace de Monaco brand expand our maison with this newest
addition of a sunglass line. The collection is an inspired, modern
version of what Princess Grace
herself may have worn today and invites the wearer to embody her
iconic spirit for themselves."
The Grace de Monaco sunglass
campaign features iconic images captured by Howell Thomas Conant,
Sr., an American fashion photographer noted for his portraits of
Princess Grace. The images capture
the elegance and refined iconic style that became synonymous with
Princess Grace.
THE DRAMA COLLECTION
Inspired by the maison's enduring muse, Princess Grace, and the many iconic roles she
played, The Drama Collection features expertly crafted eyewear in a
diverse range of styles. Each is named after a Grace Kelly character (or one of her charismatic
co-star's, Cary Grant) and exudes
the same sophistication and charm that she embodied in each of
these multifaceted personas.
In keeping with the brand's DNA and commitment to unparalleled
craftsmanship, sustainability and the highest quality materials,
each frame is designed in Italy by
a third generation family-owned business. The lightweight frames
offer 100% UV protection and are made from sustainably-sourced,
plant-based acetate. The front and temple are connected with a
five-barrel stainless steel hinge and protected with a
Teflon-coated screw, which keeps the design in balance over
time. The custom lenses are polarized, anti-reflective and
scratch resistant.
THE GRAND PRIX COLLECTION
Inspired by the exhilarating curves and bends of Monte Carlo's high-octane Grand Prix race
track, this metal frame sunglass collection is alluring and
thrilling in equal measure. Innovative and expressive, each frame
is named for one of the course's infamous turns, while the styles
are tailored to suit every occasion.
Handmade in Italy from recycled
metal and featuring a hypoallergenic coating, these styles are
brushed by hand and feature 100% UV protection, making them
exceptional quality eyewear for all.

Monaco is available exclusively
