Quay is launching a summer eyewear capsule with the Nader Sisters, building a collection around the family’s individual styles and the idea of being seen. The line goes on sale Thursday and adds optical styles to the brand’s sunglasses business.
Aptly titled “Made to Be Seen,” the collaboration was developed with Brooks, Mary Holland, Grace Ann and Sarah Jane Nader, who each influenced a different part of the assortment. Quay said the line was designed to reflect their distinct aesthetics while still reading as one cohesive offering. The frame mix includes oversize, shield and narrower silhouettes, along with everyday options and more statement-driven styles.

“We wanted each pair to feel like an extension of our personalities. We kept saying that if you know us personally, you could instantly guess which pair belongs to who….That was fun for us to get to work on together,” Brooks told WWD.
Grace Ann said she was drawn to slimmer shapes and shield-inspired frames, describing them as trend-right but still easy to wear. “We wanted the collection to feel fashion-forward without being intimidating, pieces that elevate your look instantly but still feel wearable every day,” she added.

Mary Holland said the creative process worked because the sisters are all opinionated in different ways. “At the end of the day, we trust each other creatively and wanted the collection to feel cohesive while still showcasing our individuality,” she said. “We all have such different taste. It was cool to see what frames each sister was drawn to — the collection and shoot really captured each of our unique styles,” Sarah Jane Nader added.

Quay chief executive officer Katherine Cousins said the partnership fits the brand’s positioning. “Quay has always made eyewear for people who want to be seen,” she said. She added that the Nader sisters are a natural fit because they are “four entrepreneurs building their own brands and businesses, four distinct styles, one family redefining what it looks like to show up boldly.”

The assortment includes styles such as No Comment, Clock It, In the City and Nevermind, with colorways spanning black, tortoise and tonal finishes. Lens options include gradient and tinted versions in daisy and pistachio. Pricing runs from $75 to $175, keeping the collaboration in line with Quay’s accessible positioning.
