dope shades

Cutler & Gross are an eyewear line that have been around for about 40 years, and are clearly not going anywhere anytime soon because they make ridiculously awesome and exciting glasses.


these stellar shades are from their spring/summer 2008 collaboration with Comme des Garcons: "This collection was inspired by the multi layered sleeves on the jackets in the S/S 08 Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus collection. The glasses are available exclusively at Dover Street Market in London and all PR enquiries should go through CDG."

they also collaborated with another popular European line, Mulberry: "Mulberry has teamed up with Cutler and Gross for its Sunglasses debut for Spring/Summer 2008. The collection showcases a small history from the archives of Cutler & Gross dating back from the bold block colors of the early eighties to rock & roll style of the nineties.Exclusively for the Mulberry stores, the frames will debut January 2008, and will retail at £225."

these dope shades cost a pretty penny, but as you can see it's hard not to look pretty in them. below you can find out all about Cutler & Gross:

Over the last 39 years Graham Cutler and Tony Gross have spear-headed the revolution that turned eyewear from medical necessity into key fashion accessory. From their London base in Knightsbridge, Cutler and Gross began building its eyewear empire. The Cutler and Gross brand has become a by-word for originality and flair. It’s client base transcends all ages, industries and backgrounds, drawing from the worlds of music, the arts, finance, fashion, journalism and design.
Clients are not defined by their profession, but by an identification with the style and quality of the product. The Cutler and Gross frame designs and colours have a unique capacity to invoke the imagination. "They don’t have a logo, aren’t ostentatious and are utterly Glam" - The Independent newspaper. Cutler and Gross celebrates the individual rather than the label, a philosophy which has enabled them to be both internationally chic and discerningly underground. We have over 900 styles of frames in our archive, for a personal viewing please make an appointment with Marie Wilkinson at 16 Knigtsbridge Green.
