Viva International Group launches its Rampage Eyewear collection, geared toward women 16 to 35 who are fashion-conscious and attune to the top trends. The 20 styles in the new line are divided into four trend groups—Eye Candy, Treasure Trove, Floral Fascination and Linked Up—all showcasing the brand's sexy and innovative styling in intricate temple details and subtle logo treatments. Highlights include style R118, a sleek semi-rimless metal/acetate combination enhanced with studs and stones, from the Treasure Trove category; and R113, a modified rectangular acetate with a flower appliqué embellished with fine crystals, in the Floral Fascination segment. The collection comes in an array of two-tone color combinations such as beige/pink and brown/green and a variety of options that take the wearer from day to evening.


PHILOSOPHY:
“We are very excited about the launch of the Rampage collection and its addition to Viva’s portfolio of brands,” says Roxanne Galari, Viva director of brands. “The detailing and styling of the eyewear captures the true essence of the brand. Each color, material and design element reflects the playful and fashionable look of the Rampage woman.”

MARKETING:
Merchandising materials include three- and 12-place displays, merchandising kits and logo plaques. Each frame comes with a black and gold quilted hard case.
