Victoria Beckham has enlisted husband David Beckham to help promote her new sunglasses range. The fashion designer uploaded a photograph of David wearing Victoria Beckham
Classic Aviators to her Twitter page last week.

As well as the classic Aviator, the Victoria Beckham sunglass collection gathers iconic styles including oversized metal frames. Luxe metal detailing and classic colours give the collection a great retro appeal, which will be available from Sunglasses Shop early next year.
One of her favourite subjects to photograph and post to Twitter is pet bulldog Coco, that appears in a separate photograph wearing a Halloween necklace and with its nails painted orange and green.
But this is the first time has photographed and published a member of the Beckham family to the site.

Professor Green steals the show at MOBO Awards
The stars braved the cold to celebrate the 2010 MOBO Awards in Liverpool last night. Some of the big names were Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Stryder, JLS and Alesha Dixon…
But our favourite look of the night was Professor Green who stole the show in Persol 0649.
We also have to give special mention to Dappy who accessorised with Ray-Ban Wayfarers.
His Persol sunglasses are in the style of those seen on Steve McQueen in ‘The Thomas Crown
Affair’ and ‘The Get Away’.
The original sunglasses seen on Steve McQueen in both films were sold to a private collector in 2006. Those iconic sunglasses - with trademark McQueen blue, tortoiseshell housing, and collapsible frame - were lost to a private collector for tens and thousands of pounds. If you cannot afford to spend seventy thousand pounds on sunglasses, fear not. Persol has
created a line of classic McQueen sunglasses ranging which start from £185.
Not only has Persol reproduced the sunglasses of one of the greatest American male fashion icons, but have made them even better. The frame is handcrafted from a single sheet of acetate which is then broken for three points for the hinges. It is then put through a finishing process that creates a smooth outline and comfortable body. A supreme silver arrow - the iconic signature of Persol – decorates the temple.
2010 is the first year when a major award did not need nor deserve to go to an American act, an incredible development for British Urban Music. Professor Greene was awarded Best UK Hip Hop/ Grime Act. The big winners of the night were Tinie Tempah and JLS, leaving with two MOBOs each.

Lauren Conrad talks big sunglasses
Since leaving ‘The Hills’ Lauren Conrad has penned several bestselling books and is hard at work launching new label ‘Paper Crown’, which is all about the fun of dressing up.
The line is her latest contribution to the fashion scene and features a collection of eyewear ranging from the oversized to the ultra glamorous.
She tells Teen Vogue "They were like, 'Do you want to do sunglasses,' and I said, 'Only if I can do them big!' Then they were like, ‘Do you want to do shoes?' And I said, ‘Only if I can do them tall!'"
Lauren loves designing and wearing big sunglasses and does so with pride. More often than not
Dior Glossy 1 is her weapon of choice. These sunglasses take everything good about fifties fashion and takes it to a cool more contemporary place. With a large frame subtly branded at the temple, these sunglasses have their own unique star quality. Choose this frame in black, brown or tortoiseshell for everyday wear. Or pink, petrol or violet for a more glamorous evening look.

Oakley shades Chilean miners
Oakley donated 35 pairs of sunglasses to the Chilean miners rescued from beneath the Atacama Desert after 69 days underground.
The brand was approached by a journalist covering the rescue efforts who recommended
Oakley to the private health insurer for eyewear protection for the miners once they surfaced.
Oakley Radar sunglasses feature a single lens that wraps around the eyes. This will give the miners protection from sunlight — not just straight ahead but at the sides of their eyes.
The Radar frames are fitted with the darkest lens available from Oakley. A Dark Grey base is combined with Black Iridium lens coating that balances light and reduces glare.
Two lens shapes (Path and Range) are included with the interchangeable lens design. Both shapes provide excellent coverage and the difference in shape will allow for variances in facial anatomy to give each miner the best possible sun blockage.
Their eyes will be dilated bringing the risk of added UV exposure to the eye. Oakley
Plutonite lenses filter out 100 percent of all UV rays for unbeatable protection.
A hydrophobic or oleophobic lens coating prevents water from leaving sheens that can obstruct vision. It also sheds mud and repels oils and dust - proof that these Oakley sunglasses are the real deal.
