NANETTE’S MOMENT: Luxottica and the Council of Fashion Designers of America have tapped Nanette Lepore as the latest designer for the 2012 Design Series for Vogue Eyewear, its third designer collaboration to date. The designer chose actress Emma Roberts as her muse when creating the cream-colored cat-eye sunglasses. “I looked to glamorous actresses from the Twenties to the present while I was designing and fell in love with Emma,” said Lepore. “She’s chic, youthful and confident in her style. I really wanted to make every element of my sunglasses unique, from the metallic cyan packaging to the inlaid gold filigree on the frames.” The limited-edition frames (only 1,200 have been made) will be carried at select Sunglass Hut stores and sunglasshut.com for $129.95 in October. Past CFDA collaborators include Rebecca Minkoff, Monica Botkier, Yeohlee Teng, Devi Kroell, Kara Ross and Matt Murphy.
