The exclusive collection features three new frame styles to pair with vacation-ready looks, and fresh, ready-for-summer colorways for other popular Iris Apfel x Zenni styles. The collection includes:

With a starting price point of $39.95, these premium, hand-polished acetate frames are both accessible and collectible to suit any mood or look. All Iris Apfel X Zenni Resort Collection frames are available as glasses or sunglasses in Zenni’s full array of customizable lens tints and mirrors.

“We are fortunate to work so closely with Iris on all our designs and overjoyed to share this Resort collection with her global fanbase,” said Michelle Ticknor, head of lifestyle partnerships at Zenni. “Iris brings her boundless creativity and joie de vivre to every design decision in our exclusive collaboration.”

To capture the Iris Apfel X Zenni Resort Collection, Zenni partnered with celebrated lifestyle photographer Ben Watts on location in South Beach, Fla. These images complement the original Iris Apfel x Zenni Zentennial campaign launched last year, which was shot by celebrated fashion photographer Ruven Afanado with Iris at her home in Palm Beach, Fla.

Iris also released a book IRIS APFEL: ACCIDENTAL ICON, MUSINGS OF A GERIATRIC STARLET in 2018. Iris currently has a fashion capsule collection on HSN and sells home goods exclusively with Grandin Road.
