Designed and founded in Los Angeles, Kingsley Rowe Eyewear introduces its debut unisex collection. Featuring both sunwear styles (previewed here) and optical styles previewed in January, the collection includes rich colors such as black, tortoise, olive, silver and rose gold. All styles are created with Italian Mazzucchelli acetates and stainless steel metals for a quality and avant-garde design. All shapes represent the brand’s modern look and include CatEye, square, round and rectangle. Each frame features a signature hexnut detail, found on the frame fronts and temple tips, drawing inspiration from vintage and current influences. The precise and equal points of the hexnut detail represent the symbolic balance between Kingsley Rowe’s classic heritage craftsmanship and modern contemporary style.
