Bernhard Willhelm x Mykita

It’s only been 5 years since the world was introduced to German “techno-chic” eyewear brand Mykita but right from the get go the German company has been getting attention with their classic and avantgarde elegant designs like FLASH frames we previously covered.

Mykita has collaborated with world renowned fashion designer Bernhard Willhelm who made some waves with his work on Bjork’s Volta album cover and is known for his street, fun, and chic style. The two got together earlier this year and created these stunning shades that take inspiration from winter sports, specifically the skiers at the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics. The frames definitely give the wearer an edge in style over the standard clunky goggles with a look and feel like their molded to the face. The aerodynamically designed aviator frames are made of ultra-lightweight sheet-metal with 3 monochrome & mirrored colorways and the square Uschi model available in silver/black. The limited edition shades are now available exclusively at Opening Ceremony.

Super RSF Bread and Butter Berlin Edition

One of my top frame choices this year has got to be the Super RSF Bread & Butter Berlin Edition with straight top frames in a nice butterscotch shade.

Clear lenses by Zeiss combine forces with that drool-worthy Italian construction and tortoiseshell effect. Mmmm… vintage, with 180 made and individual numbering. Currently out of stock at caliroots.

Louis Vuiton Acetate Sunglasses

The Evidence, Obsession, and Illusion are hand made in Italy and were created to make geeks like myself look like superstars!
My god, when i came across these sunnies, they were scorchin' hot!
I had to say sumthin' about them!
Especially the Evidence (personal preference here), if you wanna bling out with LV, gotta do it with the Evidence, if you want a more subtle and sophisticated look, rock the Obsessions, and if you want a more funky trippy look, what else but the Illusions!
All three are sick (personal preference again here!) and i highly recommend coppin' them (if you have the scrilla)

The LV Evidence frame is a hand-polished aviator style acetate frame with golden metal bridge that discretely shoes off the engraved LV logos. They have tinted lens with a LV logo engraving on its upper corner of the right lens
