MYKITA & DAMIR DOMA SS2013

And the next Mykita fashion designer collaboration is…wait for it…Damir Doma, the Croatian-born designer .
We never saw this one coming.

Mykita and Damir Doma done a very interesting job, by contrasting materials. Warm buffalo horn got mixed with cold stainless steel. It is both – retro and futuristic. The construction is very light, soft. “This particular shape perfectly rounds up the Damir Doma look,” the designer says of the sunglasses made from gold, platinum, graphite, and horn

In the eyewear fashion it is not the first time, that we see how traditional shape is translated into something modern.

Such an icon model is also Sleeper from Massada Eyewear. Especially crystal frames with grey graded lenses! Something very simple, but very special!

The collection is available at the Damir Doma store in Paris. www.mykita.com www.damirdoma.com. The price for frames start from $1,700.

BUSHAKAN WOOD DESIGN

In these days we don't have one pair of eyewear, but piles. Yes, piles. People change there frames 2-3 times a day. Not only from reading glasses to sunglasses, but also to match there clothes. It is quite difficult to keep them clean and pristine. The lenses always get scratched and the arms fall off and it’s just a mess.

Now it's time that you meet Bushakan eyewear stands. Individually made from solid pieces of hardwood, the stands have sections carved out to house all of your eyewear in a safe spot.

Very simple, very nice!
