History[edit]
Illesteva was founded in 2010 by brother/sister duo, Alina and Daniel Silberman. The brand was a finalist in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund's 2012 competition.[1]. Illesteva has its frames made in France and Italy, with designs done in New York. The company has nine stores in the United States and one in London's Selfridge's department store. Illesteva's three flagship stores are located in Boston, Venice Beach and New York's Soho neighborhood.

In 2017 Illesteva teamed with Michael Jackson's estate to release limited-edition aviators, similar to those worn by Jackson.[4] N.E.R.D., a music group consisting of Pharrell, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley, collaborated with Illesteva to frames in which a USB drive was integrated with N.E.R.D.'s music.[5] Actress Rashida Jones partnered with Illesteva in 2017 to create a pair of sunglasses for which a portion of the proceeds went to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
