…look again…
the day-to-day, through a new lens
new in: sunglasses and eyewear
tribeca, new york
9AM ...
early still, but the sun is strong...
in the morning, they wear the 814 ...
technically detailed, an experiment in weight and proportion ...
steel cable brow bar, suspension-mounted,
threaded between signature color enamel mounts ...
with four-bar detail and signature tipping on the titanium temple,
a touch of varsity spirit, to begin the day ...
11AM...
in the office, and en garde ...
with its mesh-metal flip up lens cover,
the matte navy 814 reveals the sporting spirit of a fencer’s mask ...
a tactical detail to preserve the competitor's field of vision ...
now at the ready ...
athletes, begin typing ...
1PM ...
thirteen-hundred, on the dot ...
lunch break in the 114 ...
a circle bridge, once used by servicemen as a placeholder for lit cigarettes,
is suspended between lenses within an extruded titanium frame ...
flexible temples are tipped in signature multi-colored enamel,
while a four-bar detail above the bridge calls to mind a silver tie bar ...
6PM ...
break for champagne ...
and finish the day in the 815 ...
jovial round frame, plateau bridge ...
materials in contrast for a tromp l’oeil effect ...
all-titanium frame, fitted with extruded acetate lens rims,
gently expanding the footprint of the lens with architectural precision ...
a steel cable brow bar, once again threaded between signature-colored enamel mounts,
tensioners deployed from the frame’s titanium core to secure the cable,
all in a nod to exacting dimensions ...
to symmetry, to precision ...
to seeing things anew ...
cheers ...
