For spring/summer 2014, bebe is introducing a sun collection of eyewear that revitalizes timeless shapes and offers new interpretations on the classics. Punctuated colors and mirrored lenses are incorporated into signature aviators, full volume glam shapes are subdued with marbled tortoises with understated hues, and the play on plastic vs. metal is prevalent within each release.
“bebe is a lifestyle brand, and aside from our apparel, non-apparel is a big part of our business,” says Steve Birkhold, CEO. “Launching sunglasses was a natural next step in expanding our accessories collection and rounding out our girls’ lifestyle needs. We wanted to create a collection that revitalizes timeless shapes and offers new interpretations on the classics – something that our bebe girl can have some fun with.”
The collection will range from $68-$88, and will be available in-stores nationwide and on http://www.bebe.com.

Macy’s Celebrates Black Style For Black History Month
Culture, Editorial, Fashion, News
The crowd that occupied the center of Macy’s Shopping Store in Aventura consisted of women and a few men of all ages. The DJ for the day alternated between sultry classics like Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit and John Legend. Lite bites, which were provided by Chef Irie, were passed around as guests lined up for a glass of white wine from Esterlina Vineyards (one of the few black-owned wineries in Northern California.) It was clear that the guests were at Macy’s for a unique celebration. The Senior Vice President of Diversity Strategies, Bill Hawthorne, explained that every year Macy’s makes an effort to uniquely celebrate Black History Month. This year, the department store decided to honor the history of Black style and its present-day influence in the fashion world.
As everyone was seated,Local 10 News anchor Neki Mohan introduced CEO of Ankra Miami Evelyn Onyejuruwa, singer and actress Demetria McKinney and style expert Constance White to the audience. The collection of women discussed what Black style meant to them.
“It’s freedom,” Constance White said. “Freedom to accept yourself for who you are.”
The group of women discussed how the use of vibrant colors, intricate patterns and textures have been dominating the fashion industry for the past year and how the trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
“African prints are a big trend,” Onyejuruwa said.
The panel of women applauded Macy’s department store for being one of the few stores that carries Black designers and emphasized the importance of exposure and awareness of Black Desginers.
“We need to celebrate our contributions to the fashion world,” Mckinney said. “But a lot of the time we don’t always hear about them. A lot of people don’t know that a Black woman designed Jackie O’s wedding dress. Her name was Ann Lowe. Those are things that we need to know.”
By the conclusion of the event, which also included a fashion presentation in addition to a musical performance by McKinney, audience members walked away with a preview copy of Constance White’s new book, Constance White presents the Queens & Kings of Style, and McKinney’s new single Work With Me with a purchase of $50 or more.
Hawthorne shared his feelings about the event’s success with Worthy Magazine.
“I was very pleased with the turnout,” Hawthorne said. “It was our goal to discuss culture and to teach the audience something that they didn’t know already.”

Design Exchange (DX), Canada’s Design Museum, presented a series of firsts with its playful, unprecedented exhibition This Is Not A Toy, guest curated by music and fashion mogul Pharrell Williams. This is the first major original programming produced by DX and the first foray into museum curation for cultural connector, Pharrell Williams. Not to mention that this is the first time coveted artists, Brooklyn’s KAWS and Japan’s Takashi Murakami, have shown their work in a design museum. Dedicated to exploring the conceptual toy – a form made solely as an expression of an aesthetic or idea – as a fine art and design object, as well as a contemporary cultural signifier, This Is Not A Toy marks the first time these vibrant collectible sculptures, figures and paintings have collectively been on display in a museum setting.
