Barneys Gets a Jump on the Row's New Sunglasses

Earlier this fall, when news broke that the Olsen twins were designing sunglasses for their high-end line The Row, the predicted launch date was sometime in the spring. Now, Barneys tells us that they're getting the collection before 2009 is up. The exact arrival dates haven't been confirmed yet, but they'll show up between Christmas and New Year's, just in time for you to rock them on the slopes (or, OK, if we're being realistic, Park Slope.) Each pair costs $325, and you'll be able to find them at any Barneys in the country—but, at least for the time being, only Barneys will have them.
