HIDEO KOJIMA x JEAN-FRANÇOIS REY Collaboration

Jean-François Rey and the famous Japanese video game designer Hideo Kojima launch a new capsule collection of striking glasses in exceptional design, futuristic minded, inspired by the video game DEATH STRANDING: an unexpected collaboration between the world of gaming and the eyewear design. The line is available in 4 new models, optical and sunglasses, including 2 optical frames equipped with original sunglasses clips (HKxJF01 and HKxJF02), a shell sunglasses model (HKxJF03), and a 3D collector's mask (LUDENS MASK), a flagship piece from the collection offered in a limited and numbered series for gaming enthusiasts (and fans of the brand).

The HKxJF01 model is an entirely handmade metal and acetate frame whose originality lies in the solar clip design. Articulated on a ball joint, the clip opens and is fixed on the temples of the frame thanks to a magnet and chrome-plated part. If its design is inspired by the futuristic world of video games, its style is nonetheless modern and totally current, marked by retro influences. The original shape of the glasses gives the model its unique character and slightly offbeat look. The model is featured in 3 colors: black, chess graphic pattern or camouflage. For collectors of atypical and trendy accessories!

This model is distinguished by its distinctive design featuring the artistic references of the video game which have inspired the collection. Made of hand-made acetate, the model gives a nod to the retro trend thanks to its solar clip. Perfectly fit on the front, the metal clip redraws the silhouette and gives the frame its urban, modern and on trend look. As always at JF REY, the style comes with an array of original colors: black/crystal graphic effect, mottled print with shades of blue and an army spirit design.

LUDENS MASK is a masterpiece of the collection. It appears in the opening scene of the game Death Stranding with the character of Sam Porter Bridges, played by the famous actor Norman Reedus. This futuristic design was modeled by JF REY Studio and is produced in 3D Printing (SLS Technology). Delivered in a numbered luxury box marked with the emblem of the production house of HIDEO KOJIMA, LUDENS MASK is Collector’s Edition.
