collection capsule Light Blue by KOMONO

KOMONO – LIGHT BLUE CAPSULE COLLECTION

 

 

During the late seventies and early eighties, one of the worst droughts in L.A.’s history occurred which drained hundreds of backyard pools all dotted around the city. These pools formed the backdrop for a group of teenagers who used the steep, smooth pools to introduce a new fashion of skateboarding. Characterized by a low-center-of-gravity, surf-style attacks, this new style soon developed into a global craze which until today remains the base of modern skate culture.

 

Inspired by the concrete waves of L.A. pools, KOMONO launches a capsule of inspired glasses, watches and eyewear accessories in a striking light blue. The campaign, shot at the legendary Pink Motel, features a wide-templed Avery and rounded Ana.

KOMONO SS20 OPTICALS COLLECTION

 

 

For Spring/Summer 2020, KOMONO embraces boldness to maximum effect.

Distinctively premium, the optical collection introduces three new weighty, handcrafted Italian acetate frames. The Mario, Uma and Jeff are characterized by its massive quality and luxury feel.

More experimental shapes are introduced with the Judy, an oversized hexagon frame, the Stanley, a well-defined narrow model with double bridge and the Piper, a more rounded, subtle style.

Following up on last season’s Slim series, Spring/Summer 2020 also introduces oversized variations of two of KOMONO’s most sought-after styles, the Martin and the Ethan.

With the arrival of the Grand series, KOMONO offers a range of possibilities that will suit all faces.

 

Forgoing an obvious minimalism, the new campaign, shot by long-time collaborator Pierre Debusschere, features a fresh take on KOMONO’s well-established visual language. Marked by the spontaneous cut-out of models contrasted to a bright orange backdrop, the campaign highlights this season’s most celebrated styles in unparalleled fashion.

GRACE HYEJIN KIM

The whole collection started with one phrase ‘’it’s cold, I’m just chilling’’.

I was inspired by winter and combined this with the idea of sitting at home on the sofa. The overall atmosphere transmits a certain coldness and conveys my feelings of being lonely and longing for family as an international student in a foreign country.

NICK HAEMELS

25, Belgium

I started putting together the collection after watching ‘’Ex Machina’’, this really polished movie about artificial intelligence. The whole aesthetic is based on laboratories and has this very clean feel to it. The idea of playing with a mask for this project appealed to me a lot. I started to do research into the negative space of these objects in order to create a new kind of shape.

LINUS LEONARDSSON

“See you in the fog” references adolescence and depicts a teenager’s concerns of not fitting into a grown-up world, as well as his or her attempts to do so. Set in a forest rave in Stockholm, it connects contemporary rave culture with new ways of preserving nature and craftsmanship. Technical materials are linked with contrasting natural inputs and traditional techniques. The unisex sunglasses reference trees which are tinted blue, yellow and green by artificial strobe lights.

QUINTEN MESTDAGH

23, Belgium

My main goal was to create the effect of make-up in eyewear. As make-up is always applied onto the skin, I was interested in transforming it into an object or accessory that you can easily put on and off. The glasses consist of one colored lens that covers the face which is then enhanced with gradient prints and embellished with rhinestones.

KOMONO OPTICAL COLLECTION – SPRING/SUMMER 2019

Radical in reduction

 

 

A continuation of the Fall/Winter 2018 season, the new KOMONO Optical collection defies the pull of gravity for a weightless feel. Defined by modern silhouettes and pure construction, Spring/Summer 2019 explores the radical in reduction.

 

A force of attraction, the Gravity collection features supremely light and flexible laser-cut metal frames. Vibrant new colorways, such as electric blue and neon pink, inject brightness into impossibly slender frames.

 

A surprising twist to the Elementary collection, the Elementary Gap adds a sense of airiness to KOMONO’s core optical collection.

 

The Johnny, a hexagon-shaped metal frame with pronounced double bridge, is introduced for a strong graphic look.
