Round Acetate And Titanium Glasses

Thom Browne’s elevated collegiate aesthetic is expressed by the round frame of these grey glasses. Noting the label’s artisanal craftsmanship, they’re made in Japan from matte acetate and gold-tone titanium – coveted for its lightweight yet strong feel – and trimmed with tricolour stripes at the temple tips.

"Thom Browne began his career designing men’s bespoke clothing and expanded his line into a full ready-to-wear collection in 2004. Browne’s style, rooted in a truly American sensibility and inspired by icons of the late 1950s and early 1960s, updates classic silhouettes with unexpected proportions. He was named the 2006 Menswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America; his work was included in Cooper-Hewitt’s 2006 National Design Triennial; and, that same year, he was a finalist in this category. In fall 2007, Browne launched a men’s and women’s collection for Brooks Brothers and a collection of men’s jewelry for Harry Winston." -Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards 2008. In 2011 he launched a women's ready-to-wear collection, and in 2012 a unisex eyewear collection. Thom was the recipient of the 2012 Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in Fashion Design and 2013 CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year.
