MIGA STUDIO
INDIVIDUALITY AND FUTURISM
Miga Studios, the independent luxury brand that blends Asian minimalist and futuristic sensibilities with the cultural richness of Italy, presents its new line.
From its founding in Hong Kong to its execution in Italy and Japan, luxury eyewear brand Miga Studio has always focused on creating exclusive handmade eyewear collections. Overall, the brand draws inspiration from both the Italian design tradition and Hong Kong, one of the world’s largest commercial centers and a creative pole for trendsetting. Founded by two visionaries with extensive knowledge and expertise in the eyewear industry, the main objective of Miga Studio’s collections is to create a unique range of products recognized for the advanced technology used for every detail, protecting the brand from any kind of imitation. Although the brand’s handmade eyewear was initially created exclusively for the founders’ friends and family, the stunning eyewear quickly gained popularity among fashionistas. Miga Studio’s frames are designed with quality, colors and details in mind, resulting in best-selling shapes. Through in-depth research into vintage-derived colors and customized frames, Miga Studio has been able to leave a lasting mark in the optical industry with its ever-rising star. The brand combines Italian authenticity with Japanese craftsmanship to create unique, futuristic designs that blend different materials and push the boundaries of traditional eyewear. With a strong focus on individuality and innovation, the brand also creates remarkable collaborations to deliver impressive collections.
Block-busting Collaboration: Miga Studio x Hoet
Miga Studio and Hoet Design Studio, based in Treviso, Italy, presented their collaborative capsule collection at Silmo Paris, one of the world’s largest optical fairs, held in France from September 23 to 26, 2022. With this collaborative capsule collection, Hoet once again proved its technical mastery as a studio that designs for companies looking to create a custom eyewear line to enhance their brand or identity. With similar tastes, including modern architecture, the two brands have created a dazzling collection of bold, playful and particularly versatile frames. The designs in the collection combine elegant Mazzucchelli HD acetate materials and 3D printed titanium with balance and absolute technical precision. This avant-garde combination creates a new aesthetic effect that intensifies the architectural spirit that is in the DNA of both brands. Each frame in the Miga Studio x Hoet collection is characterized by a dramatic titanium brow line design with diagonal cutouts. The same sense of power and drama is traced in the details, from the end pieces to the choice of core wire. This collaborative project was born at the 2019 Silmo Paris, when Alessandro Fedalto, Co-Founder of Miga Studio, and the Hoet design team met for the first time. Miga Studio had caught Hoet’s attention with its use of titanium and manipulation techniques advocated for glasses with innovative details. The Miga Studio x Hoet capsule launched with three optical frames and three sunglasses equipped with polarized Zeiss lenses, ranging from round or square to bold and angular silhouettes.
Titan and Taisho are On Sale
Miga Studio starts the Spring/Summer 2023 season with a unique collection of 14 new models, divided into two categories: Titan, made with Japanese titanium, and Taisho, made with the highest quality acetate. From the designs of the new models to the model names, the brand takes inspiration from architecture. In both the Titan and Taisho categories, Miga Studio has derived the faceplates directly from a monoblock plate. Taisho is available in two thickness options, 7.5mm and 12.0mm, while the titanium Titan is divided into two options, the super light 4.5mm and the robust 11.0mm. The names of the models attest to the brand’s commitment to contemporary design that embraces multiculturalism while remaining true to traditional values. The Baltic and Timber models from Taisho pay homage to the architectural styles prevalent in Northern Europe. The elegant Frank, Zaha and Louis models bear the names of some of the most important architects of the last century. Titan, on the other hand, offers a variety of slim and bold forms, including the duo Cosmopolis and Metropolis and the robust Rider-Rafter. The Modulor frame is characterized by the brand’s signature raw-cut style. Miga Studio has used its signature 12.0 mm acetate family to create Titan and Taisho, and the characteristic titanium top applied to the front visually complements the frames’ silhouette with a bright, shimmering accent. In the absence of titanium, the frames are enriched with unique raw-cut mills that distort the volume of the monoblock with a clever play of positive and negative fields. Takiron acetate also stands out for its typically vibrant colors, such as transparent dark green and bicolor havana. Titan models are now available in unusual shades such as the glossy matte olive that has become a key signature of Miga Studio, while the two-color variants with black circles and olive frames take this category to another dimension. The Japanese titanium used by the brand in Titan has such a low density that, despite its 11.0 mm thickness, it is almost unnoticeable once worn thanks to its extreme lightness. With this special version for the Spring/Summer 2023 season, Miga Studio promises to be with eyewear lovers in every season.
