Zyloware Celebrates the Life and Legacy of Gloria Vanderbilt: 1924-2019

Gloria and Chris Shyer

To the world, she was a model, fashion designer, artist, and icon. To us, she was a dear friend and a partner.

At the launch of Zyloware’s Gloria Vanderbilt Collection in 1976, Gloria became the first American designer to have her own eyewear brand. She was truly an extraordinary visionary and a trailblazer in everything she accomplished in her life. We have been honored to work alongside her to build the longest existing license with an eyewear company.
