Maison Martin Margiela X Cutler and Gross

Maison Martin Margiela sunglasses X Cutler and Gross
Maison Martin Margiela 2011 eyewear collection.

Eyegoodies is pleased to welcome in the new collection of sunglasses from Maison Martin Margiela.

The experimental, provocative, avant garde French fashion label Maison Martin Margiela teams up with praised manufacturer of luxury handmade eyewear, Cutler and Gross, for their first full collection of sunglasses.

The collection features two distinct concepts: “Anatomic” and “Wrong Size” both offered in an acetate and metal variety.

The Anatomic range features extra-large futuristic, functional wraps. These shades anatomically wrap around the wearers whole face providing absolute coverage.

The “Wrong Size” range highlights Martin Margiela’s pension for deconstruction and the experimental.  Classic Cutler and Gross frames are deconstructed then reconstructed again with wrong sized lenses; making for a decadent distinct pair of sunglasses.

Thierry Lasry Sunglasses

Thierry Lasry Sunglasses

Eyegoodies is proud to welcome to the site Thierry Lasry sunglasses.

For French Designer Thierry Lasry, eyewear was seemingly destined.

Born the son of a designer and optician, creating his own line of eyewear was a natural and perfect progression. The self entitled brand “Thierry Lasry”, launched in 2006, takes a very fresh avant-garde approach to sunglasses.  Based off the concept of “futuristic-vintage” they utilize vintage designs and color palettes, but incorporate an updated modern touch with a surprising ease.

All Hand-Made in France, Thierry Lasry sunglasses use only the best materials.  You can just feel the difference in quality. Due to the optical background of the designer they also pay close attention to fit.  These are far from your average “look-alike” shades, you can tell the thought that goes into each and every truly stunning piece.  You will find no big emblems or logo’s here, the creativity and quality are the corner stone for the brand.  For each season’s collection months are spent on everything from meticulously designing the new frames to finding the absolute perfect acetate which will be exclusive to the collection. A perfect example of this are the particular multi-color styles crafted from vintage acetate from the 1980’s. So while all his pieces are in limited supply, these frames even more so, because once gone it is not possible to make more!   The brands charm and style even extends to the frames names, all of which end in a “y” to mimic the ending of his first and last name.  So styles include unique names such as “Attracty”,” Lively”, “Abusy”…

It’s no surprise that since its launch Thierry Lasry has enjoyed continuous praise by both fashion insiders and just about any one with a sense of style. Press for the brand includes magazines such as Elle, Vogue, Glamour, W …, and celebrities spotted in his shades include, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Anne Hathaway … and the list goes on.

Some of our favorites from the collection:

Graz X Monster Children Sunglasses

graz-monster-children-sunglasses

Just arrived, Graz Eyewear drops a sik limited edition collaboration with cult art magazine Monster Children.

Australian based sunglass label Graz, headed by Graz Mulcahy, might be one of the best kept secrets in eyewear, at least here in the states. Make no mistake about it though, Graz is not new to designing sunglasses, and for many who might not be familiar with the name know of his works. At just the age of 19 he launched AM eyewear before moving on to design for Ksubi and then onto his own self entitled line Graz. Some might also recognize the name, as having designed sunglasses and collaborated with the label Chronicles of Never for both the 2009/10 line (which we covered here).
Graz sunglasses are not about fancy logo’s and fly by fads, they are a small label and you can tell the thought that goes into all the designs, which are seamlessly edgy yet classic. With a loyal and ever growning following his limited edition pieces can be quite difficult to get a hold of.

Now Graz collaborates with Aussie art based magazine Monster Children for these limited edition sunnies simply called “Obstacle”. These aggressive unisex sunglasses are a juxtaposition of futuristic and old school classic style. They have straight lines and sharp edges and feature a keyhole bridge. They are all hand made of beautiful quality acetate.

graz-ellery-sunglasses
When two of the hottest young Australian designers get together to create some limited edition sunglasses you know the result had to be special; Especially when those designers are none other than Graz Mulcahy, of Graz eyewear, and Kym Ellery, of ELLERY.

Graz Mulcahy, for those of you not familiar, at just the age of just 19 launched AM eyewear before moving on to design for Ksubi and then onto his own self entitled line Graz. Some might also recognize the name for having collaborated with the label Chronicles of Never for both the 2009/10, and also just dropped a collaboration with Monster Children (which we posted about here).

Kym Ellery, has been making waves with her strong sexy clothes since her label ELLERY debuted in 2007. Acclaimed by industry insiders as well as just about anyone who has had the pleasure to see her designs, the latest of which were shown at the 2010 Sydney Fashion week.

Together Graz and Ellery collaborate for these sleek chic cat-eye shades available in two colors: shiny black with grey gradient lenses and also shiny havana with grey gradient lenses. Be warned that this is a limited edition, so get them while supplies last.
