1 Exclusive in the City
To celebrate the global success of model Franz on the street and on the screen in the film “Sex and the City 2,” Mykita presents the Franz 24k, a metal aviator sunglass stemming from the collaboration with German avant-garde fashion designer Bernhard Willhelm. The Franz 24k limited edition is equipped with flash-mirrored gold sun lenses coated in 24-karat gold, produced by Christian Dalloz Sunoptics. A shape originally designed to accompany Bernhard Willhelm's winter collection and inspired by the 1976 Olympics, Franz 24k showcases Mykita's ability to mix the past with the present.
In addition to the all-gold version, a highly polished gold frame with the matching 24-karat gold-mirrored lenses, Mykita is also introducing a black version of Franz.
The matte black hand-lacquered frame enhances the gold-mirror lenses' standout effect even more, and plays with contrasting golden-hinge detailing. The Franz 24k comes with a specially designed black eyeglass case, as well as a hand-numbered box and certificate of authenticity. The Franz 24k edition is made by hand in the Mykita Haus located in the heart of Berlin, Germany.
