Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation and B Robinson Optical have entered into a license agreement under which B Robinson will produce a collection of men's and women's non-optical sunglasses under PVH's Izod brand.

Sunglasses are the latest addition in the continued expansion of Izod lifestyle product offerings, which currently cover over fifteen categories, including men's, women's and children's dress and casual apparel, accessories, intimates, soft home goods and ophthalmic eyewear.

The collection will debut in U.S. stores Spring 2007 and will be offered in four groupings: Izod Classic, Izod XFG (X-treme Function Golf), Izod PerformX and Izod LX (Luxury Sport).
