Cult Gaia and Thierry Lasry work in collaboration on a special collection of eyewear for the season ahead. The former is known for creating pieces that border between fashion and art and by blending its expertise with Theirry Lasry, it breaches closer to an avant-garde theme. Together, the capsule is comprised of colorful designs that evoke confidence and individual style. There are two styles that launch various colorways all of which are made by hand in Italy with elevated techniques. Both of these embody a retrofuturistic look: the Jazz frame and the Jaya frame. The Jazz frames are oversized shape with an oval shape and the Jaya is a more feminine theme with a cat-eye shape.
Jasmin Larian, founder of Cult Gaia states, "We create items that are first, Objet d’Art and secondly, that have utility. Many of our current accessory offerings stand on their own and have a very sculptural quality about them and our sunglasses are no different. // "In terms of this special eyewear collection, is how it seamlessly merges the artistic flair of Cult Gaia with the avant-garde elegance of Thierry Lasry. Each piece is a statement in itself, combining bold shapes and striking materials to create eyewear that truly stands out."
Thierry Lasry continues, "I’ve been following Cult Gaia for quite a while now and have been very attracted to the unique energy it projects. I vividly recall visiting the pop-up in Saint Tropez last summer and immediately felt that a collaboration could be a fun endeavour. I connected with Jasmin over the summer, and we clicked right away. After spending time together, I had a clear vision of what the TL x CG sunglasses would look like – sexy, daring, and fun!"
