Much of Olivier Rousteing’s runway is inspired by the confidence of the men and women of today’s Balmain Army. Their impressive force is reflected in each of the house’s offerings—forming part of Balmain’s essential DNA. It’s clear that the same strong, audacious spirit has been channelled into Balmain’s designer sunglasses. Officially launching in January 2020 at the Mens runway show, the world got their first look at a collection where the attention is put on exquisite detail and the Japanese craftsmanship exceeds all luxury expectations.
MAYBACH, the prestigious luxury brand that launched it’s namesake legacy with one of the most notable cars on the market, is specializing in high-end eyewear. Utilizing levels of luxury only found in a Maybach Mercedes, this brand elevates their eyewear collection using a variety of materials including horn, wood, and carbon fiber. Each frame is hand made with titanium that is then plated in 24k Gold, 18k Rose Gold, Platinum, or Ruthenium. MAYBACH eyewear is literally jewelry for the eyes and is a timeless investment for any luxury connoisseur.
More than a year in the making, the all-new Valentino Eyewear line is a Luxury High-End Collection created with Swiss evolutionary eyewear specialists Akoni Group. Originated by an oneiric landscape, permeated by grace and inclusivity, the VALENTINO EYEWEAR COLLECTION reaffirms the choice of authenticity and the maison’s Couture legacy, throughout the use of Japanese craftsmanship.
Akoni means “Inestimable, Priceless, Worthy of Admiration.” Akoni eyewear aims to seamlessly blend the best of artistic heritage and technical breakthroughs, while always seeking inspiration from visionaries who forever changed the way we see and experience the universe. Handcrafted in the finest factories in Japan, Akoni takes eyewear craftsmanship to the next level.
