BERLIN, Oct 3 ― German eyewear maker Rodenstock has teamed up with the world-famous supermodel to launch a new collection of frames and lenses, slated to hit the market in 2014.

Like many of her fellow supermodels ― including Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson and Naomi Campbell ― Claudia Schiffer has pursued a side career off of the runways in the role of fashion designer. The German supermodel founded her eponymous fashion line in 2010, and has presented a number of ready-to-wear collections since.

Now the famous blonde is taking on a new challenge, announcing the launch of her very first eyewear collection, in partnership with Rodenstock.

The “Claudia Schiffer by Rodenstock” line will be unveiled at the Opti trade show, which takes place in Munich January 10 to 12.

“I grew up with Rodenstock being the pinnacle of quality in sunglasses and lenses,” the German-born supermodel commented. “Therefore they are the perfect partner and I can't wait for the world to see why I chose them. Combining my design ideas and their eyewear expertise I am proud of the collection we have created together. “ ― AFP-Relaxnews
