VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jul 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — Coastal Contacts Inc, online retailer of glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses, announced today that it has launched an exclusive line of branded signature eyewear for women called “Touch by Alyssa Milano”. In February 2013, Coastal reported that it had signed an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement with Alyssa Milano to develop a line of branded signature eyewear for women, exclusive to Coastal.com’s industry leading websites.
Milano is a widely-recognized actress, producer, philanthropist, and former singer. She is best known for her roles in the television series Who’s the Boss, Charmed and Mistresses. Milano has also made a name for herself in the fashion industry with her other “Touch by Alyssa Milano” collections, synonymous with style and function. Other “Touch by Alyssa Milano” collections include unique apparel, jewelry and accessories designed for the stylish female sports fan. Alyssa’s upcoming role as host of Project Runway All Stars demonstrates her interest in the next generation of fashion designers.
“It’s been super fun working with Alyssa to develop an exclusive line of eyewear that fits perfectly with our customers,” commented Aaron Magness, Coastal.com’s VP of Marketing. “Her global fan base has been very vocal through social media, asking when the collection is coming. They are going to love what they see.”
