MYKITA & AGATHE SNOW
Innovative artist, Agathe Snow, has now collaborated with renowned international eye wear brand MYKITA for a highly innovative new range of sunglasses which portray the monuments and images that have become “icons in our collective consciousness”.
Snow chose the popular Cyprus model to display her art, with its 1960s character and a look that is today associated with famous public figures such as John F. Kennedy. The metal frames come in a two-tone finish in Neon-Pink/Black, or vice-versa, with black mirrored lenses. Each pair of glasses features a hand-painted golden line on the inner lenses which depicts a certain skyline or landmark such as New York or the Pyramids of Gizeh.
This limited edition range, ‘Edition No. 54’, is entitled “You Are Here” and is part of Snow’s “All Access World” exhibition for the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin. The products are packaged in special boxes decorated with a section of the city map relating to the specific landmark of each design.
