As alot of you Kanye West fans will sure be aware that amongst Mr. West's array of interests in different areas of design, he has always had a thing for sunglasses.  And we recently got word that Kanye's long awaited label Pastelle has teamed up with George Garrow; designer for the famed Autralian fashion label Ksubi to produce Pastelle's eyewear range said to be released around October. Mr. West having first worked with Garrow in 2006 for sunglasses that appeared in his music videos, stated that “I (Kanye West) love the sunnies Ksubi has produced over the years, and it’s an honour to collaborate with them on this first instalment of Pastelle frames,” West said. “George is an incredibly talented designer, and I’ve never met anyone who knew more about sunglasses and other cool stuff.” 
The release "will feature limited-edition gold frames, which will sell for about $2000″. No official pictures as of yet, but this will surely be a collaboration to look out for in the coming months.

Thanks for the info from freshnessmag & smh.
