Crazy for MDG Sunglasses
MDG Sunglasses - Madonna by D&G
Well it looks like the Queen of Pop has another big hit on her hands… Following her successful turn advertising Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring / Summer 2010 collection, Madonna has joined forces with the Italian duo to design and produce a portfolio of fabulous sunglasses. With a history of bold fashion choices and a popular collaboration with H&M, it’s unsurprising that the original Material Girl has chosen to venture further down the fashion path.
Available next month at Shade Station, the MDG sunglasses collection consists of 6 pairs of oversized sunglasses that have had both fashion people and journalists gushing.
It is the first time D&G have ever ‘co-branded’ a collection and it is testament to the strength of their relationship with Madonna, that she is the first. Of the alliance they said “Designing an eyewear line with Madonna was a new experience for us. The oversized and wraparound designs are sexy and very feminine, like our clothes. Madonna’s creative contribution and unique point of view were key, even in designing the MDG logo.”
The MDG sunglasses bear both Madonna’s name and the MDG logo on each arm and are definitely one of the hottest brands to be seen in this summer. Of the six styles, three are classic Riviera style, with thick black frames in round, square and oval with dark lenses. There is an unusual pair with transparent red frames and mottled red and grey arms and the final two are more ‘matrix’ looking with a metal top bar and graduated lenses.
The hype around this first MDG Sunglasses collection is enormous and we can’t wait to get our sweaty hands on these knock out shades! We’re certain this range is going to go like hot cakes so to be sure you’re in Vogue this Summer keep a keen eye on Shade Station…

Marc Jacobs Sunglasses – A Creative, Vibrant Approach to Fashion
Marc Jacobs Sunglasses - A Creative, Vibrant Approach to Fashion
As a designer Marc Jacobs is renowned for his ultra chic yet daring and sometimes surprising approach to fashion. Particularly in America, Marc Jacobs is one of the most highly regarded, sought after and popular designers and this status has certainly transcended to a global level with the designer being iconic and favoured all over the world.
The style of Marc Jacobs fashion is very much of the tone that you can’t miss it – his creations are designed to be noticed, and this is definitely reflected at the twice yearly Fashion Weeks whereby Jacobs often stuns and dazzles the rows of fashion mavens with his eclectic but ultra sophisticated pieces and unpredictable creations. The mystique of Marc is also heightened with the use of unconventional choices of models used in his advertising campaigns including Charlotte Rampling, Dakota Fanning and Victoria Beckham.
The collection of Marc Jacobs sunglasses are a reflection of his general approach to fashion but are incredibly wearable and convey the wearer’s superior and refined taste of style. With a high-end finish, the designs range from the classically oversized MMJ127 to the dramatically oversized and new for this season MMJ153 sunglasses with their ultra slim frames and arms and vibrant and on-trend colour combinations. There are also a range of retro inspired oversized styles including the MMJ160 sunglasses and the MMJ132 aviator design.
Colour and pattern is a huge theme behind the designer’s work which is also represented in the Marc Jacobs sunglasses collection. Some sunglasses are bolder than others – a great example of this is the MMJ155 style which is reminiscent of the iconic Wayfarer with a black and white cloud patterned frame and arms. This is a fun and youthful style and reflects Jacob’s playful attitude towards fashion. Other frames also include colour and pattern but have a super chic finis
h which is perfect for adding a high fashion edge but vibrant element to your look.
Fashion is exciting and it should be a fun way of adding the spirit of your own personality into your look. Marc Jacobs perfectly achieves this with his range of sunglasses which capture the balance of being exciting and light-hearted whilst remaining wonderfully sophisticated, super trendy and stylish. Combining patterns, prints and colours is a key trend of 2010 and a pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses will not only allow you to work the trend into your look, but the individuality of each design will see you through numerous seasons to come in flawless and striking style.

Classic Calvin Klein Jewellery
Classic Calvin Klein Jewellery
The trends for tribal necklaces, enormous bracelets, crazy earrings and statement bling come and go, but classic silver jewellery will always be in fashion. Nothing screams understated chic quite like a slim silver bracelet, drop earrings or a thin silver chain and Calvin Klein knows only too well. Like the rest of his all-American portfolio, his jewellery collection is tasteful, timeless and elegant.
If you’re already familiar with Calvin Klein watches, you’ll notice that parallels can be drawn between CK watches and CK jewellery. There are lots of smooth curves, similar shaped bracelets and an expanse of highly polished stainless steel. Within the Calvin Klein jewellery collection there are flashes of muted colour, mainly in the design of the large chunky rings and aside from some black onyx and swarovski crystal, the majority of the pieces are largely highly polished stainless steel.
Although most of the collection is designed for women there are a few simple, solid looking rings for men, with the CK logo discreetly imprinted at the bottom. Ladies with classic taste will be enchanted with the choice. The highlights among the Calvin Klein jewellery range include;
- ‘Elipse’ Earrings – A beautiful silver teardrop design.
- ‘Elipse’ Bangle – Two connecting silver bangles with a row of black onyx or frosted glass imbedded within the lower bangle.
- ‘Glint 2 row’ Bangle – A simple bangle with a double row of sparkling square swarovski crystals
- ‘Thin’ – An elegant sweeping bangle that is thinner one side and slightly fatter the other
Calvin Klein jewellery is by no means exclusive. Each piece is individually priced and ranges from £34 up to £102. All of the pieces make wonderful gifts or why not treat yourself for being utterly fabulous!

LTD Watches - Hot on The Style Scene
If you like your style to be colourful, vibrant, unique and stylish then LTD Watches are the perfect option to compliment your look for summer 2010! LTD Watches is the brand that literally burst onto the fashion scene in 2009 and is already a favourite among numerous celebs including Calvin Harris, Jordan Thomas, The Saturdays and Dizzee Rascal.
Each LTD watch is strictly limited to just 150 models which is partly why the brand is so popular and sought after (despite the accessible price tags!).

A new style that we have our eye on at the moment is the new Maximo LTD Watch in black. With its smooth PU black rubber strap and bold black dial with white and silver markers and accents, what is particularly striking is the off-set crown which is positi
oned slightly higher up (at the 10 minute level) and the unidirectional rotatable bezel which is a feature often found on diving watches and allows you to measure a specific period of time. If black isn’t your thing and you prefer a more colour inspired version there are also other vibrant colours in the offering including hot pink, purple, yellow, white and this season’s trend inspired pastel grey. For a watch of this unique style and function the £65 price tag allows you to really express your personal style (that won’t be seen on 100’s of other people!) at an affordable price. Who said exclusive meant expensive?!
LTD Watches are highly robust, durable and are able to endure the wear and tear of everyday activity which means you are also investing in a high quality watch that serves great function.

A sight for sore eyes
You might just be able to get away with it if you’re an A-lister, but anyone lower down in the celebrity alphabet than that and you’re pushing it. Despite what you think, wearing sunglasses in inappropriate places is just not cool. No matter how effortless and care-free you think you look, you don’t. Don’t be fooled by passersby staring at you, they are not jealous of your understated style, they are probably weighing up how much of a try-hard you are on a scale of 1 – 10. A little harsh you may think, but you’ve got to be cruel to be kind.
However there are, as with any set of unspoken fashion rules, loopholes in the debate of when and where sunglasses suffice (when it’s not actually sunny). For example, if you have a headache, sunglasses can stop the glaring daylight pouring into your peepers. Other acceptable reasons include when you’re harbouring a hangover, driving, in mourning or on your holidays. The following locations on the other hand, are not the right places to be shading your eyes…
On the tube – there is no natural light, you look ridiculous.
In a nightclub – even worse than the tube, you shouldn’t have even been let in.
In the dark – it’s nighttime, it’s pitch black, the only explanation is you can’t find the mirror.
On a date – all very well if you’re going alfresco but eye contact is an important part of connecting. Lose that and you’ll lose out.
In work – it’s not big, it’s not clever and it’s certainly not professional.
In bed – don’t do it…ever.
But it’s not only the everyday folk who lose their way when it comes to the who, what, where and why of sunglasses. Celeb’s including Mariah Carey, Usher, P.Diddy, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Paris Hilton, Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell, the Beckhams, the Olsens and Bono have all become victim to taking their sunglasses addiction a tad too far, wearing them at launch parties, award ceremonies, gallery openings, press conferences and basketball games. They might be hoping it makes them more inconspicuous, but anyone wearing sunglasses inside is going to find blending into the background a challenge. So if you’d rather not be the talked-about focal point (for all the wrong reasons) let this be a warning to you – when the sun goes down, the shades must come off!

TechnoMarine Watches Unveils New Cruise Sport Collection
TechnoMarine Unveils New 'Cruise Sport' Watch Collection
As you may have seen, we recently launched our Elite watch section which includes the ultra sophisticated, stylish and functional TechnoMarine watches.
If you like what you have seen so far from TechnoMarine then you will be pleased to know that a further collection within the range is due to be launched named the Cruise Sport collection which was unveiled at Baselworld 2010 – the world’s leading watch and jewellery exhibition.
The existing and varied TechnoMarine Cruise collections have really placed the brand on the map with their fun, flirty vibrantly coloured designs and the unique material combination of diamond and plastic. The Cruise watches quickly became the hottest watches to be seen wearing and now the latest Cruise Sport collection takes that to the next level but with a slightly different and more understated tone of style.
The TechnoMarine Cruise Sport collection is a revamped interpretation of the signature Cruise collection with a streamlined aesthetic that is perhaps a little less elaborate and without any embellishments but equally striking and boasting a strong and fierce presence!
The strap is made from silicone which has a softer finish and is more flexible upon the wrist and the TechnoMarine Cruise Sport 
watches are water resistant up to 200m. Available in a chronograph or 3-hand style, the new watches feature a re-designed bezel which is smoother and sleeker. The dial hands are wider to convey the essence of a strong sense of purpose and the re-envisioned 3D dial has a new depth and added definition which is testament to TechnoMarine’s superior technical innovation.
In terms of aesthetic style, the Cruise Sport has a stealth-like black finish which is effectively enhanced by subtle pops of colour featured in the bezel, minute hand and tachymeter which include purposely selected shades of white, blue, fuchsia, green, and orange. These colours are specifically chosen to signify and convey the brand’s invigorating ‘live for the moment’ and adventurous attitude whilst also of course allowing the watches to transcend through seasonal trends, climates and occasions. The new TechnoMarine Cruise watches look equally amazing at sea on a diving adventure as they do in the boardroom or dressed up for a chic evening out at the finest restaurant in town and also possess the incredible function and quality to support the immaculate, streamlined and sophisticated style.
The new TechnoMarine Cruise Sport collection is a further reminder of how the brand has successfully placed itself at the forefront of watch innovation, design and style. The collection will be available in June (we’ll be sure to let you know when!) and we just know that they are guaranteed to impress!
If you haven’t done so already, you can check out the current range of stunning TechnoMarine watches here.

Revo Sunglasses – The Revolutionary Sunglasses Brand Now at Shade Station!
Revo Sunglasses - New to Shade Station
Another new brand ready for an introduction! We are very excited to now have Revo sunglasses here at Shade Station – Revo certainly produce the crème de la crème of performance orientated outdoor sunglasses and will definitely appeal to those of you who are interested in space science technology!
The Revo sunglasses brand was founded in 1985 and right from the beginning had the intention of designing technically advanced sunglasses – it seemed fitting that the brand name should be Revo which an abbreviation of the word ‘Revolution’ which completely sums up the essence of the brand!
Revo Sunglasses – NASA Technology
Revo sunglasses were developed by an optical engineer working on a NASA research project who was developing special coatings for lenses on defence system satellites. The goal was to protect the precision lenses and optics from the sun’s harsh and damaging rays in space and he experimented with applying the same multi-layer thin film coatings to the lenses of his own sunglasses. This proved instantly effective and the Revo brand was born. Therefore all Revo sunglasses feature multi-layer lenses and the exclusiv
e Light Management System (LMS) used by NASA. The finished lens works like a graphic equalizer to selectively transmit light that achieves optimum visual clarity whilst minimising potentially harmful light that damages the eyes. The LMS system has been applied exclusively to Revo sunglasses making them completely unique and at the forefront of the eyewear industry.
Revo Sunglasses – The Collections
The Revo collection is made up of four different ranges; Metal, Eco, Acetate and Classic, all of which are geared towards varying purposes and some are more trend inspired (especially the Classic range), but all boast ultra modern and dynamic aesthetic style (even the frames that take inspiration from retro styles feature unique contemporary twists in keeping with the cutting edge lens technology). The frames are available in numerous colours and are renowned for their lightweight and highly durable polycarbonate lenses – great for use during sports! Some models within the range also include photochromatic lenses which work by automatically balancing and adapting to light 
conditions and enables perfect visual clarity.
Revo Sunglasses – A Dedicated Team of Experts
Always remaining one step ahead of technology, Revo is aware of the importance of seeking the advice of those who are experts in the science and sports fields and therefore the brand has partnered with adventure-based philanthropists Jimmy Chin and Alexandra Cousteau and has recently collaborated with Australian surfer Wayne Lynch. By taking onboard the skill and knowledge of these experts, Revo can design their sunglasses according to only the highest of standards. Ultimately Revo’s brand mission to create the clearest and most advanced collection of polarized sunglasses that far surpasses anything the industry has seen and we are positive that you’re going to be mighty impressed with this collection!
