Yohji Yamamoto released the 2015 [summer glasses collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-soul-collection) 'Deconstructed & Reconstructed' with the intent of stripping down the elements that are traditionally used in eyewear and reconstructing them to be more efficient and aesthetically appealing. Eyewear becomes a part of your character and an extension of your face because of the time that it spends being seen. The [minimalist eyewear collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit) features clean designs that range from rounded-out specs to [cat-eye shaped frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-eyewear-collection) -- some feature industrial looking designs but some still featuring bold colors with sleek construction. The collection is made from high quality acetate and metal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Eyewear:** Designing eyewear with clean and efficient frames. - **Deconstructed Design:** Stripping down and reconstructing traditional eyewear elements. - **Aesthetic Appeal:** Creating visually stunning eyewear designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Exploring new designs and materials for eyewear. - **Manufacturing:** Developing efficient production methods for minimalist eyewear. - **Retail:** Promoting and selling minimalist eyewear collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sketch-Based Striking Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinzo-tamura.md) - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [Eclectic Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection.md) - [Textured Wood-Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issey-miyake-eyes.md) - [Tech Futuristic Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culture-refined.md) - [Luxurious Eyewear Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-6.md) - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [Advanced Co-Branded Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-x-mykita.md) - [Brutalist-Inspired Eyewear Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-1.md)
