Andy Wolf collaborates with KNWLS to launch three ‘GLIMMER’ sunglasses for their Spring Summer 2023 runway show in London.
The KNWLS x Andy Wolf ‘GLIMMER’ sunglasses recall the brand’s first collaboration ‘ADRENALINE,’ with angled facets and a curved bold lens with large dip temples. This time with a more compact, custom triple-layer glittery acetate. Finished with layered facets on the front and the back of the frames give a softness to the compact angled frame.
Andy Wolf and KNWLS are united in their efforts to incorporate more sustainability in their collections. These sunglasses are created by hand in Austria from sustainable acetate called ‘Acetate renew.’
The sunglasses come in three colorways with a milky front layer of acetate, hiding a layer of glitter that only emerges through the facets. The colors include a transparent brown glitter with brown solid lenses, a milky lilac glitter with grey gradient + lilac mirror lens, and lastly a milky honey glitter with mid-grey solid + pink mirrored lens. These limited editions ‘GLIMMER’ sunglasses will debut online and in stores in March 2023.
About ACETATE RENEW:
‘Acetate Renew’ offers virgin-material performance and is made from a cellulose diacetate composed of 60% biobased and 40% Certified Recycled Content incorporating eyewear production scraps. Compared to the traditional acetate manufacturing process, there is a significant reduction in greenhouse gases and tons of waste does not end up in landfills, but instead are returned to the product cycle.
About KNWLS:
London-based label KNWLS – rebranded and renamed from Charlotte Knowles in 2021 – was first founded in 2017 by Charlotte Knowles and partner Alexandre Arsenault, having met while studying at Central Saint Martins. Finding initial inspiration in underwear and corsetry, KNWLS has expanded to encompass an empowered but disruptive vision of femininity, dangerous and sensual. A tough, utilitarian sensibility – where pieces can feel like armour – challenges the modern feminine wardrobe.
