W Maldives, part of W Hotels Worldwide, has partnered with leading Australian sunglasses brand Le Specs to create the exclusive limited edition sunglasses The Prince. The vibrant blue model was inspired by the glowing colours of W Maldives and shot onsite across the sands of the exotic island surroundings that perfectly reflect the spirit of a tropical escape and the dream-like energy of summer that the Le Specs brand embodies.

The Prince model is also part of the new 22 style collection that introduces a new colour palette speaking to a mood of endless vacation, demonstrated perfectly by W Maldives’ stylish and playful surroundings.

Le Specs designer Hamish Tame explains, “This season was all about experimenting with colour in more exotic ways – sunglasses that you could imagine wearing anywhere from Cuba, to the Whitsundays and Maldives. The palette is hot and balmy, and the shapes make you feel confident. From a technical point of view I really wanted to focus on coloured metal finishes combined with translucent materials, which feels really fresh and new.”

The limited-edition The Prince style will be sold exclusively at W Maldives from Feb 14, 2017 and online lepsecs.com from Jan 17, 2017.

Guests, who will book their holiday at W Maldives, will also receive exclusive discount voucher codes to shop for the new 2017 collection on lespecs.com between Feb 14 – Mar 31, 2017

Since 1979, Le Specs has become renowned globally for its iconic and innovative sunglass collections at an affordable price. With a reputation as the ultimate summer accessory, Le Specs developed an international cult following and has become a true trendsetter in the global fashion market, spotted on celebrities including Kate Moss, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Beyoncé. Le Specs is available in over 30 countries worldwide and is stocked in top retailers internationally including Harvey Nichols, Galeries Lafayette and Net-a-Porter.
