Licensing deals are pretty routine in the fashion universe. Many brands reach out to others to help create certain products, like sunglasses or fragrances. Suit specialist Thom Browne decided to break with the pattern by making its new eyewear collection in house.
The fashion house used to rely on an outside company to create its frames, but now the luxe label really means business and is taking on the creation process internally. The new glasses are handcrafted in Japan from "acetate and titanium, finished in a variety of seasonal colorways including grey and Tokyo tortoise." The brand puts its own unique spin on a variety of frame styles, from cat eyes to aviators.
