Moncler has announced a partnership with Berlin based eyewear brand Mykita. Known for its highly technical and innovative approach. Mykita will only produced two models in collaboration with Moncler, each going on sale for only 6 months, priced at 730 USD.

“Dubbed Lino and Achille, the two models feature a swept-back frame edge. Achille, with its straight top line and broad frame is the more avant-garde model. Lino’s sweeping top line and slim frame is a modern version of glacier snow glasses.

The looks are available in black, red and blue — the latter two the colors of the first Moncler down coats in the early Sixties. The frames are fitted with mineral glass lenses from traditional Italian manufacturer Barberini.

All lenses reveal the Mykita & Moncler logo when breathed on, and feature an antifog finish on the inside of the lenses and an antiscratch outer coating. The glasses come with a padded sleeping bag style carry pouch in addition to a black case and box.” (Via WWD)

Look out for a release in stores soon.

Highsnobette shares an interesting project from two Berlin labels.

Collabos have become commonplace to the extreme, but once in a while one comes along that still is capable of causing a gasp. Case in point this joint effort from Mykita and Uslu, which packages a pair of aviators with color-coordinated nail polish–how fun is that! Available in lilac, neon yellow and grey, each aviator comes in a stylish suitcase with its respective matching nail polish. Available starting this week. E-mail shopberlin@mykita.com to order by mail or contact mail@mykita.com to locate selected retailers. Shot of products in gift “suitcase” after the flip.

More images can be seen here.

These you can put in the “crazy sunglasses” category. High end German sunglasses maker MYKITA has teamed up with Romain Kremer for Fall/Winter 2010. The result are the above sunglasses that come with an attached head piece in red and black.The model is called YURI (after Yuri Gagarine) and the idea is that these sunglasses also protect the third eye – the brain.

Of course these were already spotted on Lady Gaga. Check that out after the jump.

French designer Romain Kremer  brought his risk taking design aesthetic to the table in a collaborative effort with German eyewear label Mykita. “The ROMAIN frame is cut out of 0.5 mm stainless steel and features metal shutters. The design borrows cues from traditional Inuit eyewear, which was designed solely to provide protection from dazzling sunlight and did not have conventional lenses. The very graphic and square-edged frame is inspired by the collection’s leitmotiv of protection and is reminiscent of war face paint.”  Two colorways will be available this November.
