MYKITA and Maison Martin Margiela “The Joys of Chemistry” Collaboration

Sharing an affinity for conceptual constructions that embrace heritage designs in the modern day, Belgian fashion house Maison Martin Margiela has teamed up with Berlin-based minimalist eyewear label MYKITA for a unique capsule range for 2014 spring/summer. Mixing two company’s aesthetics, the collection consists of two models, the Essential — a lightweight metallic silhouette with rounded out lens — and the DUAL (a thick acetate frame upheld by retro styling). Moritz Kruger, CEO and Creative Director at MYKITA recently sat down with MMM to talk about their debut collection and how the ornate designs are a blend of historical and futuristic motifs. Glance through the insert below and head to MYKITA for the full conversation. Look out for the capsule range to hit MYKITA and MMM stores from April 17.
