MYKITA® and HELMUT LANG

MYKITA and Helmut Lang have collaborated on the design of two new eyewear models, HL001 and HL002. The eyewear debuted at the Helmut Lang SS20 runway show on September 7th, 2019.

MYKITA and Helmut Lang are both known for designs that challenge the status quo and elevate functional elements into intriguing signature details. With this new collaboration, the brands have developed a new eyewear proposition that deconstructs the idea of a wraparound sunshield into component parts.

HL001 feels futuristic and forward with its straight top line and double bridge creating an angular, sharp look.

Inspired by the iconic aviator silhouette the HL002 has a more fluid, curvilinear impression.

HL001 and HL002, developed by the MYKITA design team - headed by founder Moritz Krueger, and Helmut Lang’s creative director - Mark Thomas, introduce a new formula for the wraparound sunshield.

Since 2003, MYKITA has routinely gone beyond the confines of the eyewear industry setting new standards in design and manufacturing. Driven by the creative urge to question tradition, MYKITA has created new aesthetic codes in eyewear with its artful products, handcrafted in Berlin.

Helmut Lang has profoundly influenced the trajectory of fashion over the brands 30-year history. Challenging the conventions of normality, Helmut Lang continues to disrupt the notions of the modern wardrobe to recreate a series of precision luxury goods for women and men.
