Retro Looks with Mykita

Mykita presents new product innovations in the Mykita Studio collection. Studio 13 comes in cool sixties aesthetic using a novel material mix and 3D manufacturing technology. Studio 13 introduces an innovative material concept to the eyewear world – the unique combination of Mykita ‘s proprietary Mylon material and traditional acetate. The sunglasses’ high volume design is made from ultra-light, durable Mylon, which is created using cutting-edge 3D printing technology. Meanwhile, the slim rims around the lenses are crafted from acetate, providing a defining detail that adds to the design’s appeal. Studio 13.1 is a slimmer silhouette with cool, unisex appeal and Studio 13.2 has a more glamourous, oversize square shape. Central to both model is the interplay of the two materials and their respective colours, which creates the defining and unique look. Matt Mylon paired with glossy, transparent acetate let the lenses appear to hover inside the frame front. Ton-sûr-ton colourways using tortoise shell acetates present a more understated version. Opaque colour-blocking options such as black/sand deliver a high contrast graphic effect.

Vision Comfort with Hoya Polarized Lenses

Hoya Polarized lenses effectively block reflections and eliminate uncomfortable glare from the sun while enhancing contrast and providing better viewing comfort outdoors. Light travels in many directions, but when it reflects off shiny surfaces such as wet roads, cars, windows, snow or water, polarization occurs. This causes unpleasant glare and reduces vision. To avoid such situations, polarized lenses are the right solution for sunlight anytime and anywhere. Polarized lenses are perfect for users who want to avoid discomfort caused by glare. Especially those who drive, engage in outdoor sports or just like to spend time outdoors will enjoy the advantages of Hoya Polarized lenses. We recommend Hoya Polarized lenses for travelers, drivers, people who enjoy water and winter sports, people with light-sensitive eyes, people who are sensitive to glare and people who put fashion at the center of their lives.
