I love Sundays in Berlin, you always find great-looking eyewear-people enjoying the sun. The gradient color of the girl’s sunglass is wonderful, it suits her very well.

MYKITA MYLON NEWS // MIDO 2012
Bam! This is such a great color this season! Azadeh in the new version of Nova called Vega. Fiercely straight on top, rounded on the bottem. LOVE IT!
Lydia is super cool in the Vega.
The Crison in a new color. The gradient in this one is amazing – like a beautiful sunset!
MYKITA MYLON // MIDO 2012
It all starts with a powder!
MYKITA‘s MYLON line is truly innovative and cool! At the MIDO 2012 fair in Milan, Italy they showed the different stages in the making of the MYLON frames.
MYKITA Designer Martin Güntert.
Right from the very start you can tell it’s not how any other frames are made, or anything else for that matter. The shape is drawn in 3D in a computer, a laser beam then prints on powder made of Nylon in layers after layers. Where the laser hits, the nylon melts and hardens. This allows MYKITA to experiment with the shapes and make really advanced frames! Afterwards the front and temples are lifted out and most of the remaining Nylon powder can be reused again. The parts are softened, colored and treated so that the surface feels almost like wood (very comfortable against the skin!) and the parts are put together with MYKITA’s special screwless hinges. The color won’t rub off and the material is super durable, it can’t break, but all Mylon frames can be adjusted.
This collection is a little sporty, they fit very well around the head and they all come with Zeiss lenses in different colors. This is really a light and stylish sports sunframe that can be worn in the city as well! You can even put corrective lenses in most of the models!

ROLF Wood Spectacles // MIDO 2012
ROLF is a small family-run business in the Tyrollean Alps. Everything from frames, hinge construction to sample cases and photos are made by the team. The finish of the frames is incredible and they are very comfortable and wearable even as ophthalmic frames. I tried several of their models at the fair and they fitted me great, without any adjustment needed (which is very important when buying a wood frame though they unfortunately aren’t adjustable).
The frames are totally made of wood, woodstone and some of the models are even available with buffalo temples. The prices are very various depending on the wood. This is a really high-end handcrafting, almost too good to be truth.

This Ukrainian girl looks amazing in this preppy look, which she matches perfectly with a caty frame from MYKITA. You look great!
