The other day Jasmin and I had the chance to look and try the whole collection from MYKITA, Moscot and Munic Eyewear. I just had to try this huge mylon sunglass from MYKITA, with mirror lenses. BIG like!
Mylon is a new material and technique for manufacturing frames, which MYKITA is the first to use for making frames. Also see This Post.
My friend and co-worker Stina and I went to Prague last week. The first day was really hot and we cooled ourselves with lemonade at a café.
Stina looks super awesome in her MYKITA Karlsson!
When in Berlin make sure you visit the cool and newly renovated MYKITA Shop in Mitte on Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse 6.
Frida is checking out the frames.
We met the lovely Optometrist Alina.
All storage is from old Swiss Air boxes. Très chic!
We were here.

A Collaboration with Rad Hourani resluted in these Mylon frames called Rad. It’s a crazy shape and I dont think you could do this in acetate since the lens is slid in from above. Be sure to check out Mylon, we’ll probably see some great things in this material!

Mirror, mirror on the wall…
The NYC based electronic and hop hop rappers from Theophilus London stepped into the new MYKITA store in Berlin the other day.
Check out the awesome Bernhard Willhelm XXL Glasses! Not full UV-protextion but 100% coolness!

Mirror lenses has gotten a lot of attention in fashion magazines, but sadly enough I haven’t seen many people actually wearing them. How come? Maybe it’s just the Swedes who are afraid of wearing it, or is it the same worldwide?
I can imagine that lot of people associate mirror lenses with those super sporty sunglass of the 80’s, because even I do. And because I’m not a sporty person, I don’t see any reason to wear sunglass with a sporty look. But lately I’ve noticed that there is a whole bunch of cool sunglass with mirror lenses, which are not necessarily sporty. For example my round sunglass “Janis” from MYKITA: (Click here to see).
Right now I’m on vacation in Spain. The other day I wore my craziest sunglass and had a really good time. The model name is “Janis”, named after Janis Joplin, from MYKITA. They’re super gold, but also very cool and fun with the round shape and mirror lenses.
MYKITA has always been a great brand with high-quality products. Now, they’ve gone a step further and launches their latest collection “MYKITA LUXE”.
MYKITA LUXE is – as MYKITA themselves called it – “the connoiseur’s glasses of choice”.
The collection contains six retro shapes, re-editions of popular classics dating back to the first half of the 20th century, and completed by two contemporary shapes.
They’re all made of high-quality stainless steel, which is coated in “White Gold or Platinum. The materials has been carefully selected, whereof the natural horn of the temple and nose pads is supplied by Germany’s most reputable manufacturer of horn products. The horn has positive properties that have traditionally made it an excellent choice for spectacle frames, as it is extremely skin-friendly and has a warm, individual and natural look.
We really like the new metal frames and all the structures you can make with metal and how you can recreate a classic acetate frame as a metal frame. Love love love l.a. Eyeworks’ lacy frames and MYKITA’s awesome shapes yet light frames.
