MYKITA cites the memorable small specs worn by Alexander Skarsgard in Pillion as an indicator of what’s to come this Autumn
Lightness, greater precision, and optical frame dimensions that are generally smaller, and surprisingly so for men: these are some of the characteristics that suggest that the language of reduction will be amongst the design highlights for the season to come. For MYKITA, this language has long been part of the design philosophy across the collections and promises a striking aesthetic for new models coming up.
Their LITE, LESSRIM, and NO.1 collection take an approach to design which expresses a contemporary appreciation for precision over excess and a style of minimalism that still finds room for interesting details and new and innovative interpretations of classic shapes.

According to MYKITA, the LITE and LESSRIM design concepts distil eyewear to its essential elements through the ultra-light stainless steel construction, refined proportions and exceptional adjustability. New arrival Skylar from the NO1 collection continues this
exploration with its organic lines and curvy sports feel. A fairly compact rectangular silhouette, the structure is softened by rounded edges and a subtle upward sweep that lends the frame a subtly expressive character.
Going beyond nostalgia for turn-of-the-millennium minimalism, MYKITA’s designs reflect a contemporary appreciation for precision over excess. All the styles are handmade at MYKITA Haus in Berlin. Find out more at www.mykita.com
