Luxury eyewear maker Cutler and Gross collaborates for a second time with world renowned fashion designer Erdem for a special limited edition sunglass: The Marlene.
It really doesn’t get better than this. Cutler and Gross’ unparalleled handmade craftsmanship is fused with Erdem’s discerning eye for print and color. Named after Erdem’s mother, Marlene, the sunglasses are inspired by the glasses his mother wore in the 1960’s.
The frame is available in four truly stunning colorways which perfectly echo the sophisticated lace and floral prints of Erdem’s Spring Summer 2012 ready to wear collection (which was recently shown during London Fashion Week); It is available in “Ystad Flower”, White Lace, Black Lace, and Navy. Giving it an extra bespoke touch, three of the colors actually have materials from Erdem’s SS12 collection encapsulated within the acetate!
“The woman wearing these glasses is chic, independent, and marches to the beat of her own drum.”

GLCO is laid back, sophisticated, and inspired by Leight’s California surroundings: the place where he was born, raised, works, lives, and loves. Timeless styles are brought to life through his discerning west coast perspective; From the colorways, such as “Champagne” with “Ocean” polarized lenses, or “Honey Blonde Tortoise” with old school “Pure Green” lenses (just to name a few) — to the frames all being named after streets in Venice CA . Even the Venice zip code “90291″ is specially engraved on the core wire, a very nice touch. There is a beautiful aesthetic to the entire collection. It’s not over complicated, just a slice of classic 20th century Americana served with a modern twist.
