The Visionary Designs

While the independent Spanish brand expands its XS collection with new models for spring 2024, it welcomes the summer season with its brand new series, Odd Fruits.

Gigi Studios is a global independent brand that designs and produces unique, handmade eyewear. Hailing from Barcelona, the lifestyle capital of Spain, the brand is constantly inspired by art and new trends. The constant search for innovation, the visionary use of materials and years of experience in eyewear design are the defining elements of Gigi Studios’ collections. Over the years, with its original and consistent image, Gigi Studios has consolidated its place in the eyewear universe. Gigi Studios’ eyewear frames are made of noble materials such as natural acetate, made in Italy and Japan. The cotton content in the materials ensures comfort, flexibility and durability. In addition, acetate offers countless possibilities for colors, structures and shapes. These characteristics of the Spanish brand make its Dna completely unique. Gigi Studios, which proves its talent to the eyewear world with its vibrant, young and fashionable designs, attracts attention with its new products and collection in the Spring/Summer 2024 season.

XS Collection for Small Faces
Gigi Studios presents the new designs for prescription frames and sunglasses in the XS collection, which summarizes the essence of the brand in small models. The XS collection comprises elegant silhouettes in compact, bold designs that encapsulate a powerful spirit in a small size. Handcrafted with great attention to detail, the new models are perfectly suited to smaller faces, enhancing their individuality and style. Made from the best noble materials, such as natural acetates from Italy and German stainless steel, the XS collection will be expanded in March 2024 with eleven new models: seven optical glasses and four sunglasses. Each design decision has considered the individual character of each model and the necessary technical adaptations to achieve a harmonious and perfectly integrated result. Among the new optical proposals, the four new Italian acetate models stand out. XS’ designs have distinctive shapes that offer maximum lightness and sophisticated bevels and angles that help reduce their weight.

The new acetate optical designs are available in a palette of innovative colours, including sophisticated translucents and warm havanas. There are also three new stainless steel frames with acetate Windsor rings, which, in addition to new shapes, are also available in surprising shades of steel, such as red or blue. The new sunglasses in the XS collection are Larisa, Zenaida, Catalina and Genesis, whose reduced weight is achieved thanks to thinner acetates, new bevels and rounded contours.

Odd Fruits Embrace Summer
Hot on the heels of the new additions to the XS collection, Gigi Studios presents the Odd Fruits collection, with six models that capture the eccentricity and uniqueness of fruit. The Odd Fruits collection is inspired by the expressive power of fruit and its infinite wealth of colours and textures. It comprises six acetate models: three optical designs and three sunglasses. With their intense tones, unexpected colour combinations, strange shapes and diverse textures, fruits are a constant source of inspiration for their expressive and evocative power. All their details and nuances are the epitome of beauty, and that natural richness has become the essence of the Odd Fruits Collection. The Odd Fruits Collection by Gigi Studios comprises six Italian acetate models, each inspired by the various shades and tones of different fruits. 

Meticulously created by the Gigi Studios team in Barcelona, the six new designs incorporate bold colours and delicate sculptural shapes with soft bevels and geometric silhouettes, a statement of style and personality. The three Odd Fruits optical designs – Fresh, Acid and Tender – are available in an innovative colour palette. Acidic and luminous colours are combined with translucent acetates and subtle laminations on the inside. Fresh stands out for its oversized and slightly geometric shape; Acid is an oversized design with laminations on the sides that give it a unique character; finally, Tender is a square model with thin ridges. The chromatic and formal richness of fruits is emphasised in the three sunglasses, which present inspiring silhouettes and colours. The oval-shaped Bitter stands out for the variety of thicknesses and laminations that add depth and new nuances to this design. Lush is a more rectangular model with the same side and top laminations. Finally, Citrus is a hexagonal design. The collection has been intensively worked on with bezels that add lightness to the new designs. Their CR39 lenses have been developed in new tones to match the acetates. The Odd Fruits campaign celebrates the eccentricity of fruits and their unique characteristics which are, without a doubt, the creative force that inspires this collection and a tribute to the infinite richness of Nature’s forms.
