When it comes to summer style, accessories are everything, and nothing elevates a look quite like a pair of bold sunglasses.
Just in time for peak sunshine season, eyewear designer Elisa Johnson has teamed up with content creator and comedian Quenlin Blackwell to launch a limited-edition summer shades collection that’s already turning heads.
Known for her chic, fashion-forward eyewear line, Elisa Johnson has carved a name for herself by designing sunglasses that blend vintage glam with modern edge.
The capsule collection includes oversized frames, bold cat-eyes, tinted lenses, and a mix of neutral and pop colors that flatter a range of skin tones. “We wanted to give people a collection that felt fearless and fun,” Elisa shared in a behind-the-scenes clip. “Quenlin brings such a vibrant energy to everything she does, and we really wanted that to show through the designs.”
Quenlin, known for her viral humor and magnetic presence online, adds, “Sunglasses are my favorite way to express myself. This collab was all about creating pieces that let you show out and feel confident, even when you’re running errands or just vibing with friends.”
With prices ranging from $85 to $120, the collection offers luxe appeal without breaking the bank. And the campaign imagery? Straight-up fire, think slick braids, glossy lips, and sun-drenched selfies that scream summer glow-up.
Beyond the fashion, the collab reflects a growing trend of Black women creatives teaming up across industries to make space and style their way. Elisa and Quenlin’s partnership is a celebration of vision, literally and figuratively, and how eyewear can be a powerful tool for self-expression.
Whether you’re dressing up for a day party or keeping it chill in denim shorts and a crop top, this shades edit has your sunny-day slay covered. But move fast, the drop is limited, and fashion girls everywhere are already adding to cart.
