A fresh collaborative release between RIGARDS and Ziggy Chen, the RG1943ZC, codenamed “Moon Owl”, is exquisite in every detail
Symbols often connected with the mystery and magic of the night, the imagery of the clairvoyant wise owl and the moon of intuition with its changing phases: intertwined with an optimized oval shape, the elegant new glasses from RIGARDS have been codenamed “Moon Owl”. The owl silhouette continues a signature design trait of the label (Nite Owl was released in 2019 – https://www.eyestylist.com/2019/06/divergent-designs-rigards/). Moreover, the frame’s rims evoke an artful arrangement of crescent moons. Congruent with the mood of a collection — presented at Paris Fashion Week — which celebrates the ethereality of watercolour paintings, the RIGARDS artisans handpainted the patina hues on the frame, lending subtle individuality to each pair.

The unique sunglass clip channels the stylistic influence of Streamline Moderne (the key aesthetic behind an earlier collaborative design with Ziggy Chen), again reflecting a strong unified design language. The frame style RG1943ZC – which fits both male and female wearers equally well, is being released in six elegantly crafted nuanced “dirty” hues, another unique signature look of the eyewear label.
RIGARDS will show the new frame design in Paris this weekend via private viewings at their stand at SILMO Paris – Hall 7 (C104). Find out more about RIGARDS’ history and frame craftsmanship at www.rigards.com
