Vestal Vision: Seeing Fashion It was only a matter of time, pun intended, before the action sports–steeped watchmaker Vestal International added sunglasses to its collection. Known for its close ties to tastemakers in music, surf, skate and snow, Vestal offers a new take on eyewear coming out of the action-sports market. Vestal Vision, which debuts in stores for Spring 2010 and makes its trade show debut Feb. 3–4 at Class@ASR in San Diego, is more fashion- focused than the average action-sports eyewear brand. “The line was developed to be a little bit more boutique-friendly, a little more fashion-forward than one might expect out of an action-sports brand,” said Derek Boucher, Vestal’s marketing director. The six-piece 12 CALIFORNIA APPAREL NEWS JANUARY 29–FEBRUARY 4, 2010 unisex collection features four handmade acetate styles and two metal aviator styles, all wholesaling for $32.50 to $45. Produced overseas and designed inhouse, Vestal Vision is a major play to establish Costa Mesa, Calif.–based Vestal as a premium accessories brand. “There is a lot of competition in the [eyewear category] in the action-sports market. We’re not trying to compete with them so much as expand our presence,” Boucher said. Retailers shouldn’t expect, for example, performance snow goggles or super-technical shades. “Our goal is to create glasses with a Vestal vibe and aesthetic.” For more information, visit www.vestalvision.com or call (949) 631-7036.—Erin Barajas NEW RESOURCES Directory of Professional Services & Business Resources ATTORNEYS Attorney IN the CMC THE LAW OFFICES OF MATHEW B.

In 2009 the company opened two new stores in California and announced plans to open 40 more in the next few years. Inspiration for the lines comes from the DNA of the brand, Dyne said. “William Rast has a DNA that includes a biker sensibility, leather and denim. Justin [Timberlake] wears glasses now, so some of the [William Rast Eyewear] inspiration will come from him.” Inspiration for the Racing collection will come less from Timberlake himself and more from William Rast’s ties to Indy-car racing, Dyne added. “We’ve been involved in Indy-car racing for some time through sponsorships and various other ways, so the [Racing] collection will draw inspiration from that,” he said, adding that the Racing collection will focus on sportier and moretechnical features.—E.B.
