Cutler and Gross launches its new retro luxury sunglass and optical styles for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. The British brand takes inspiration for the new collection from Manchester’s famous nightclub The Haçienda, which was open from 1982 to 1997. The Haçienda was the spiritual home of “acid house” music, at the forefront of music and youth culture in Manchester city center, credited with reinventing and revitalizing the nightclub genre. The Haçienda is the nightclub that changed Britain. Key shapes from the Cutler and Gross extensive design archive are seen through the lens of The Haçienda’s heyday, reinvented with flair and special regard for the music, color and fashion of that time. The collection comprises ten styles, broken down into six opticals and four sunglasses, that possess a distinctly retro and luxurious feel. Oversized silhouettes and thick profiles come together to create an effortless oh so chic look. Each defined by a statement size, color, and/or tinted lenses that would feel as much at home in the 80s as they do now.
