Cutler and Gross unveils the Spring/Summer 2024 Desert Playground line, featuring a selection of 8 bold designs, including 7 optical glasses and 5 sunglasses. This collection seamlessly blends traditional and modern shapes, drawing inspiration from the striking architecture of Palm Springs celebrating the radiant and glamorous era bathed in sunlight. Each style reflects the cinematic grandeur of 50s Hollywood and draw inspiration from the Modernist architecture of this bygone era, frozen in time by Julius Shulman’s photography. Inspired by the winged frames popularized on the silver screen during the 1950s and 60s, the 1409 model features a curved brown bar and flattened edges, offering a refreshing twist on a classic style. Drawing from the geometric precision of mid-century modernist architecture, the 1410 optical frames boast a striking square structure. Embodying the angular elegance of 1960s cinema, the 1411 frames feature a straight brow bar and slanted lugs, evoking a gender-neutral cat-eye aesthetic. The maximalist sunglass design of the 9324 draws inspiration from the octagonal allure reminiscent of iconic Hollywood figure Sophia Loren in the 1950s.
