The Japanese eyewear label Yuichi Toyama has collaborated with Giorgio Armani for a luxurious capsule collection, which is made in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. A new collaboration has been launched between the Japanese eyewear brand Yuichi Toyama and fashion brand Giorgio Armani, offering a capsule collection which fuses Giorgio Armani’s Italian style with the latest Japanese technological innovation. Armani’s aesthetic vision has been complemented by designer Yuichi Toyama, who is known for pushing the envelope of Japanese manufacturing technology while also employing traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The resulting combination of Italian elegance and Japanese innovation delivers a nuanced effect, with lightweight, comfortable frames in Japanese titanium, created with subtle detailing and shading, and always blending form and function. The designs employ Yuichi Toyama’s signature “Double Dutch” design, which was released in 2016. This took its inspiration from the “Double Dutch” game in which two “turners” face each other and spin a rope in opposite directions, while one or more jumpers simultaneously jump over it.
