Yniq, Swedish luxury eyewear brand, announced the launch of an exclusive sunglasses collection with Olympic Champion and Yniq co-owner Lindsey Vonn. While working closely on launching multiple goggle styles, Yniq and Vonn have combined leading-edge science and impeccable design to create fashion forward goggles and are now using the same principles to design their first limited edition sunglass collection.
Working closely with Yniq designer Mikael Kenson, Vonn incorporated a combination of mirror and gradient tints, high quality flat nylon lenses, one of a kind lens filter technology for enhanced vision, and all metal construction into traditional cat-eye and aviator sunglasses shapes. The first two styles, Lindsey Vonn Edition One & The Shield, are launching with the goal of taking sunglasses to the next level with distinct designs using the most high-quality materials on the market. Made in Italy, by careful hands of skilled artisans, the collection was created with the most modern computerized metal production machines and lens technology.
Vonn is known for her standard of excellence in everything she does from dominating the slopes to her entrepreneurial pursuits, and is excited to help create the most functional and high-fashion sunglasses on the market. With an eye for world class craftsmanship, Vonn and Yniq hand selected each material with the vision of creating a high-quality haute-couture sunglass that can be worn from Aspen to Mykonos.
“I wanted to put my own twist on the classic cat-eye and aviator sunglasses and create a chic and functional pair that can be worn at the beach, around town or during those sunny days on the slopes,” said Vonn.
