Received another email celeb news update from MYKITA this morning with a picture of singer Lady Gaga wearing one of the yet to be released MYKITA styles. This time it’s a Mykita Romain Kremer collaboration eyewear mask called Yuri (allegedly vailable in August 2010, not sure if in Motueka though). It was first shown at Tranoi fashion show last month. The sunglasses, inspired by Yuri Gagarin, the first man human in outer space, are following the ideology that they are “made to protect the 3rd eye and the brain, reinforcing the idea of a new type of man, with a sci-fi warrior touch. ... read more

We’ve written about celebrities and their special taste in eyewear before. Just a few days ago I came across a blog post on the MYKITA site featuring a shot showing Lady Gaga wearing one of the limited edition MYKITA “Edeneyes” sunglasses (model “Bent”, pictures taken from the official MYKITA blog). The frame was designed by Bent Angelo Jensen chief designer of Herr von Eden. It comes in 4 colours (black, white, grey and red) and is produced in a limited edition of 80 frames per colour. The “Edeneyes” features Mykita’s unique No.2 hinge, similar to the one on my own MYKITA (I know I am not as pretty, but my MYKITAs are just as cool). ... read more

A trend, currently set by some top German and Danish frame designers, is to keep their designs simple, with clean lines, light but still extremely robust and strong. 3 companies in particular stand out: ic!berlin, MYKITA from Germany and Lindberg from Denmark. All three companies not only design their frames, they also manufacture them in their respective countries. Is alone is already somewhat against the trend, because many frame design companies have their designs made in Japan or China. ... read more

You may have noticed that our Online Shop is not accessable at the moment. It is currently being renovated as the “old” shop turned out to be rather difficult to navigate and we also had a few issues with it’s integration into the main website (that’s what happens when an amateur tries to do everything himself – never mind, we enjoy it). Hopefully we’ll be able to get the shop back online in a few days or so. ... read more

Isn’t Christmas a great time of the year? It’s the time when we all should take time out to reflect on the really important things in life and make an effort to re-connect with family and friends. And it isn’t only the few days of Christmas itself – Christmas time starts as soon as the first cards of your friends arrive in your mail box. It’s nice to know that someone, even when they live in a completely different part of the world, is thinking about you and telling you so. ... read more

OK, I guess one could say that I’ve been raving enough about the MYKITA frames from Berlin. But then again, that was mainly about the “Collection No. 1″ models, which are all made from stainless steel and are made without any welds or screws. Just recently we have received the first set of the “Collection No. 2″ models! This collection expands the MYKITA range to include Cellulose Acetate frames. ... read more

In an earlier post I introduced one of our innovative frame ranges – the MYKITA collection. If you want to read up about it, you can do it by clicking here. I love this collection and couldn’t resist using one of the acetate frames for my own prescription. It was the “OTTO” that I was particularly fond of. I like the clean lines, the workmanship, the fit and comfort of them, as well at the quite innovative temple hinge. Needless to say that I am absolutely stoked about my new MYKITAs. ... read more
