Elsa Hosk for Christopher Cloos.
Courtesy of Christopher CloosWith a sizable collection of vintage sunglasses tucked away in her closet and an unrivaled eye for design, it should come as no surprise that Elsa Hosk has created a line with literally everything you could possibly need.
The 33-year-old model has teamed up with Christopher Cloos to create a range of four retro sunglasses products that are sure to up your accessory game.
In fact, she was determined to create a range that was “so good” that she would be able to “drop all my sunglasses and just wear them”. And let’s just say his current collection is extremely extensive.

Secret We Weekly. “I took my most worn Ultimate frames out and tweaked them to the point where they felt absolutely perfect.”
Although Hosk has an extensive collection to her name, she is convinced that creating a “sunglasses wardrobe” requires no more than four solid shades.
“I wanted to create a collection of a few styles that are so versatile that’s all you need. The four styles we do together [with Christopher Cloos] are all you need in your repertoire,” she told Stylish.
So what does the decline entail? Well, while there will be a handful of additional styles released in the coming months, you’re currently getting your hands on a cat-eye style (which is created with a biodegradable frame!) in three different shades: Black, Ristretto and Dark Brown. All three retail for $179 and are available in blue light versions.

Teaming up with Christopher Cloos, who also offers a line of men’s sunglasses in partnership with Tom Brady, was a “natural evolution” for Hosk.
“Getting into design and making these collections is really inspiring. Using everything I’ve learned from working in the fashion industry for so many years and putting all my knowledge to good use is something I’m focused on moving forward,” she said. declared. We.
