For fall 2022 Cutler and Gross is presenting a new eyewear collection called “The Curation” taking inspiration from Graham Cutler’s comprehensive personal archive of 1950s and 1960s American books, films, books, and eyewear. The design team has carefully examined the archive, focusing on the amazing technical details found on these iconic frames as well as their authentic design. Paying homage to the legendary icons of Hollywood’s silver screen, and groundbreaking American musicians whose style and swagger defined that epoch, the frames within the collection are sculptural in design and crafted with robust reinforced temples. Sophisticated and charming, these Cutler and Gross glasses nod to ‘Hollywood’s Golden Era,” whilst maintaining a distinctly modern edge.
Most of the Cutler and Gross glasses are made from the finest Italian acetate. Although throughout the brand’s history there were also aluminum, titanium, Perspex and combination frames, the main focus has always been on acetate frames. The manufacturer utilizes 9mm and 10mm acetates and special lamination techniques, which make Cutler and Gross optical frames and shades unique and authentic. Also, they boast an amazing selection of custom colors and transparent acetates revealing the hardware of the frames. That’s why, to fans throughout the globe, Cutler and Gross glasses are instantly recognizable without any logo or branding. Since the very beginning till now, the brand has been driven by a simple principle: when it comes to eyewear, it’s not just about how we see the world, it’s about how others see us.
