Leica and Mykita Team Up for Camera-Inspired Optical Range
Bringing Leica’s clean, minimalistic aesthetic to eyewear for the second time.
One may be known for some of the world’s finest cameras while the other is notorious for its playful eyewear, but Leica and Mykita both maintain a keen attention to detail as well — a shared ethos that’s on full display with their new optical range. Following up a collection of sunglasses that released this past spring, the two’s latest offering is a set of four carefully-crafted eyeglass styles, each of which boasts top-quality construction and in-the know embellishments.
Dubbed the ML07, ML08, ML09 and ML10, each of the four pairs is built from high-grade stainless steel. The ML07 and ML08 each feature an aviator-style bar across the top while the ML09 and ML10 opt for a more simple look. All feature rounded frames as well, save for the ML08 which supplies a more sharply-angled look. On each stem arrives the glasses’ signature detail: an etched text hit with technical specs that nods to the graphics found on Leica’s cameras. All four builds come in multiple colors as well, some of which add a dash of Leica red across the top.
The Leica x Mykita optical range is available now at authorized Mykita dealers around the world, a full list of whom can be seen via Mykita’s website. Prices are available upon request.
