I was lucky enough to be in Tokyo on holidays last month. I was wandering around the AMAZING Isetan department store in Shinjuku when I stumbled upon these babies (if you ever go there don't miss the food court- for eternal happiness). They are a collaboration between the ever fab Mykita optical & Brasilian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch. It is such a marriage made in heaven - both designers famous for their clean streamlined shapes, both able to turn classic into modern & simple into avante garde. I love the 2 tone, the sharp lines, the slightly mirrored sepia lens- just so much goodness.
Check out other collaborations at http://www.mykita.com
and check out this pair, current object of my desire: http://www.mykita.com/articles/index/lite-1#peppi from the Mykita current seasonal line. Unfortunately I am only slightly blind & I already have a disproportionate collection of optical given my mild condition.
Maybe I will ask santa......
