Aspesi, luxuary men clothing brand, is dipping its toes into eyewear, embracing the category via a partnership with niche Italian brand Retrosuperfuture. The small capsule collection done in collaboration with Retrosuperfuture comprises sunglasses and an overshirt. In combining both brands’ quintessentially Milanese roots, the capsule comprises two sunglass styles and a jacket. Retrosuperfuture’s signature Milano sunglasses, inspired by the sleek frames of the 1950s, have been rendered in a black acetate frame with matching black lenses and a silver frame and mirror lenses versions. They both come with a quirky touch, a third eye-shaped enamel in the eyewear’s internal bridge. Similarly, the cobranded overshirt, inspired by Aspesi’s Mod. 13 padded jacket, has been reinvented for the collaboration, rendered in a double faced nylon version crafted from a lightweight Japanese technical fabric on one side and from olive green shiny nylon on the other, the latter face bearing a hand-sewn orange patch at the back with details on the capsule collection.
