Among several new releases at Mido this weekend including colourful buffalo horn frames, Press Eyewear showed the prestigious Carved Collection, crafted in 4mm block titanium
Imagined as a tribute to jazz, and some of the world’s most iconic musicians, the Carved Collection embodies the signature character and style of the New York luxury eyewear brand, paying rigorous attention to quality and technical sophistication while really making an impact through remarkable construction, material combinations and colour.

“We have had so much success with our metals, and this new collection adds an entirely new dimension to that story. Jazz has always been a part of my life – my father was a jazz musician – and I grew up immersed in that world, inspired by the brilliance of the music, influenced by the style and attitudes of the 1950s and 60s and an expression of true coolness which was deeply refined. For our metals, I have always wanted to bring the construction into play with a unique refinement that feels like jewellery on the face…and I think jazz music does that – it is so expansive and refined at the same time that you get this amazing impact from it… Jeff Press, President + Designer, Press Eyewear
The first four styles in the Carved Collection – Miles, Diz, Trane and Chet – inspired by greats in the world of jazz, launch in five subtle colourways as sun or optical variants. Each frame is crafted in 4mm block titanium and features recessed acetate rims. The pieces are light and comfortable thanks to the prestigious quality of the materials inspired in their 3-dimensionality by the beauty of horn – both in terms of their aesthetic and the bold unforgettable statement. The sunglasses feature Zeiss sun lenses, and all versions feature custom spring hinges and custom nosepads with silicone covers. Find out more at www.presseyewear.com
