Christopher John Rogers X Andy Wolf
For his debut in accessories, Christopher John Rogers has collaborated with Austrian eyewear brand Andy Wolf to create his first sunglass model.
Named the Linden, after the Brooklyn street where Rogers’ first studio was founded, the oversized geometric frame captures CJR’s signature blend of bold glamour and American practicality.
Renowned for their craftsmanship and modern design, Andy Wolf was the perfect collaborator to bring CJR’s signature aesthetic to eyewear. The bold, oversized D-frame draws inspiration from sculptural mid-century designs, updated with faceted details that catch the light from every angle.
This unisex style is made from sustainable acetate, consisting of 60% plant-based cellulose and 40% recycled materials, and features ZEISS lenses. Reflecting CJR’s love for color, the Linden comes in four standout hues: classic black with vivid blue lenses, creamy Magnolia with vintage yellow lenses, ombré Tobacco with petrol-green lenses, and transparent Rhubarb with red-orange gradient lenses.

About Andy Wolf
An idea among friends, that was the beginning of the independent, Austrian eyewear brand ANDY WOLF EYEWEAR. In 2006 the label was founded by Andreas Pirkheim (better known as Andy) and Wolfgang Scheucher (the wolf in the name). What started very small and with a big vision to combine local, traditional eyewear craftsmanship with contemporary, innovative design is now worn and loved worldwide.
Since day one, ANDY WOLF has taken responsibility for people and nature. In 2022, the innovative brand takes not one, but many steps further into a more sustainable future - the entire year is dedicated to the moWo Grow With Us.
For every ANDY WOLF frame sold, there is a square meter of wildflower meadow that is nurtured and cared for. In this way, the brand actively contributes to environmental protection and biodiversity (in Austria).Â
ANDY WOLF is also once again demonstrating a pioneering spirit in its choice of materials: step by step, acetate frames are being switched to Acetate Renew, the most sustainable acetate in the industry - for a thoroughly sustainable collection that is unique on the market.
