Fab 40: Mykita

Germany

The avant-garde Berlin-based designer Bernhard Willhelm has teamed up, rather unexpectedly, with hyper-contemporary sunglass manufacturer Mykita. The result? One of the most wearable high-fashion partnerships we’ve seen of late. Also based in Berlin, Mykita have for the past six years been producing high-style, one-piece stainless steel sunglasses. Taking the 1976 winter Olympics as their cue, the new range is available in two distinct styles – Janis, a rounded shape for nu-hippy-space-sirens, and the more adaptable oblongs of Uschi.
