Colour Studio by Cutler and Gross highlights the beauty of emerald green for the season.
British luxury eyewear brand Cutler and Gross launches new additions to their exclusive Colour Studio collection.Each season, the ‘Colour Studio’ within the Cutler and Gross Atelier in the mountains of Northern Italy selects premium acetates which are woven into the collection in unique ways. The Colour Studio Editions are made on a single run of specially selected acetate, so once the acetate has been used in full, the colourway will not be reissued. The Colour Studio Edition is released twice a year by the company, drawing inspiration from the extensive archive and current trends in art and design, with the aim of appealing to the collectors of Cutler and Gross as well as colour connoisseurs.
This season the company focused on Emerald Green, a vividly pigmented gem-stone green which sits alongside Ink, an archive Cutler and Gross shade of deep midnight blue.
Among the examples of the Emerald Green acetate, the cat-eye 9288 taps into the style of frame worn by the leading women of Hollywood’s golden age. The glossy limited-edition colour, available in both optical and sunglass oozes a sharp yet nostalgia-induced aesthetic, according to Cutler and Gross. For men, the 9289 sunglasses are reminiscent of 1950s and 60s styles, worn by Rock Hudson. Each frame in this series is etched with a gold foil ‘Colour Studio’ script, handwritten by the Creative Director, and stamped into the right temple.
