MYKITA > Studio 13 - Retro Cool Renaissance

Presenting a product innovation from MYKITA STUDIO – STUDIO 13 reinvents cool Six­ties aesthetic using a novel material mix and 3D manufacturing technology.

INSPIRATION
Representing the creative core of the Modern Manufactory, MYKITA STUDIO is a show­ case for high­ fashion concepts and uncompromising designs that reflect the aesthetic zeitgeist. In an eyewear first, STUDIO 13 presents a novel material concept – MYKITA’s proprietary high ­tech MYLON material in combination with traditional acetate. Ultra­light, durable and made using 3D printing technology, MYLON makes up the main ingredient of these high volume sunglasses; acetate is used for the slim rims around the lenses, delivering the defining detail and appeal of this design series.

COLLECTION
The capsule collection presents two sunglass models: Both offer plenty of volume, STUDIO 13.1 is a slimmer silhouette with cool, unisex appeal and STUDIO 13.2 a more glamorous, oversize square shape. Central to both eyewear pieces is the interplay
of the two materials and their respective colors, which creates the defining and unique look. Solid, matt MYLON paired with glossy, transparent acetate let the lenses appear to hover inside the frame front. Ton-­sûr­-ton colorways using tortoise shell acetates pres­ent a more understated version. Opaque color ­blocking options such as Black/Sand deliver a high contrast graphic effect. For all models, high volume and rounded edges come together for a bold, retro look with undeniable Sixties flair.
