Madonna to unveil a line of tinted sunglasses

March 18, 2010

To some people, Madonna is the epitome of fashion and reinvention. The material girl is known for her extravagant taste, and some individuals look to her for style advice. This may explain why the pop star has decided to unveil her own line of tinted sunglasses.

Madonna is teaming up with the luxury brand Dolce and Gabbana, to create a line of sunglasses called MDG, according to the Associated Press. This venture will be a part of MG Icon, which is a collaboration between Madonna, her manager, Guy Oseary and Iconix Brand Group.

This business venture is not a far stretch for Madonna, as she is often seen hiding from the paparazzi behind a pair of shades.

The tinted sunglasses line, which will be released in May, will be manufactured by Luxottica, and will have a pretty hefty price tag with frames costing up to $289 a pair.

While not everyone has to worry about the constant flash of the shutterbugs' cameras, sunglasses are still beneficial to eye health. According to the American Optometric Association, wearing sunglasses may help prevent cataracts, which is caused by the eyes' overexposure to the sun.
