The latest joint venture between Mykita and 032c merges the worlds of fashion and athletics through an innovative eyewear design characterized by its aerodynamic aesthetic. The design, called “Alpine,” will be available in stores by the end of June 2024 and was first unveiled at the 032c Readytowear showcase in Paris in January 2024.
Known worldwide for embracing Berlin’s independent ethos and attracting an international following with their forward-thinking designs, Mykita and 032c have once again combined their talents in this eyewear collaboration, fusing the fashion label’s design ethos with Mykita’s cutting-edge materials and technology.
“Alpine” is the second installment in the Mykita x 032c series, featuring sleek wraparound sunglasses crafted from lightweight stainless steel. Utilizing Mykita’s innovative Lessrim technology, the sunglasses feature nearly invisible rims thanks to the ultra-thin design set into the curved lenses. The unique temple structure mirrors the lower edge of the frame, creating seamless lines that are enhanced by specially shaped side pieces for an aerodynamically optimized silhouette.

Available in three different color schemes, each version of Alpine offers a unique vibe – the metallic versions in Glossy Gold and Shiny Graphite come with Mirror Flash lenses, while the Black PVD version with black lenses offers a timeless monochromatic look. Each pair includes a special rubber nose pad for added comfort and stability.
