Komono Eyewear is back in action with the fashion department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, reviving the collaboration that made the first edition a hit!
This time, they’ve teaming up with master students Marcel Sommer, unleashing his creativity on a new eyewear capsule that’s influenced by the student’s unique artistic vision.
KOMONO is launching an enhanced version of Marcel Sommer’s iconic collection of sunglasses, now with an added dash of commercial appeal. This partnership is a resounding cheer for the designer’s progress beyond scholarly boundaries, offering eyewear that’s not just visually stunning but also easily available to a wider public. It’s a brilliant blend of artistry and accessibility!
The “AFTER[MA]TH” collection is a groundbreaking series that envisages the evolution of humans into a superior species.
The series delves into the intriguing concept of brain-chip connections, a trend that’s gaining traction in the tech world. It showcases how these advanced technologies can be used to assert dominance and influence in society.
The collection skillfully balances dramatic and nuanced elements. Inspired by Brutalism and light installations, the sunglasses in this collection are a remarkable spectacle.
The eyewear showcases sharp lines that flow effortlessly into elegant curves. The integration of form and color scheme effectively creates a sculptural aesthetic that encapsulates the futuristic essence of the collection, offering a compelling preview of what the future may hold.
The KOMONO x Marcel Sommer collection is a testament to the brand’s dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining the intersection of art and fashion.
