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.

Italian eyewear brand SUPER presents their new range of sunglasses for Fall/Winter 2011. Continuing to explore Panama, the brand presents a series of well defined and characteristic silhouettes, headed by metal and acetate combined shapes.

Next to introducing several new silhouettes, including the Racer model, SUPER also releases great new variations of their classic, using new colors and prints to set accents. Overall the new collection is somewhat classic in comparison to their previous lines, yet perfectly suiting for the winter months. We love the new matte colors, the anchor prints and also the new silhouettes, that take a more sophisticated and grown-up approach.

Italian eyewear brand SUPER gets together with the Cool Cats gang from Paris, run by Pedro Winter of Ed Banger Records, Ed Banger art director and artist So Me and Michael Dupouy from LaMJC.

Taking the design cue from the Cool Cats logo, the concept is to bring the cat’s (logo) sunglasses to life. SUPER worked with the Cool Cats design team led by So Me. The result is a hand-customized carnation of the much-loved W silhouette, the linear ‘retro-futuristic’ member of the SUPER family. The shades were meticulously hand-crafted, reproducing a life-size Cool Cats logo, achieved by skillfully inserting the silver stripe by hand one-by-one, thanks to the cooperation of the experts at Carl Zeiss. The arms feature delicate silver inscriptions and the Cool Cats logo is displayed on the outer arms, winking in the sunlight.

They come in shiny black and matte black and are available from SUPER and Cool Cats.
