For months, Lizzo has been using her superstar platform to encourage people to vote [1], and her latest collaboration with Australian sunglasses brand Quay [2] is a reminder that voting now is more important than ever. In an effort to emphasise the importance of voter representation, Quay x Lizzo have partnered with the NAACP Legal Defence and Education Fund (LDF) and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law to lift barriers to voting in the US in correlation with the launch of their second line of accessories.
"The American people deserve to feel seen and we deserve a government that reflects our beautiful diverse country and ideals."
"Voting is a big way to contribute and to feel like we're making a change," Lizzo said in a press release. "But the power of voting in midterm and local elections wasn't something I was taught in school. I want to be part of informing future generations of our power . . . Representation is important to me. It helps people feel seen. It celebrates diversity. The American people deserve to feel seen and we deserve a government that reflects our beautiful diverse country and ideals."
The new accessory line features glamorous sunglasses with blue-light lenses, ombré lenses, frosted chains, a cut "Vote" face mask, and a lot of bling so you can look good as hell voting at the polls this November. While most items in the collection range from $55 to $65, the line also features three limited-edition sunglasses styles, priced at $125, embellished with real crystals to add a little bit of glam to even the simplest outfits [3].
As part of the campaign, Quay will donate $100,000 to help fund LDF's Prepared to Vote initiative to protect voting rights and to support Black political engagement and the Lawyers' Committee's Election Protection program. Shop the full sunglasses line and that stylish face mask here [4].
