WERKSTATT:MÜNCHEN Sunglasses Collection 2016/2017

We would like to present to you WERKSTATT:MÜNCHEN’s 2016/2017 sunglasses collection. Designer and master jeweler Klaus Lohmeyer reimagines sunglasses as an elementary piece of jewelry for your face. Every component of the frame is entirely made of sterling silver, down to the nose pads. The glasses feature Rodenstock lenses that are capable of sensing and reacting to different light conditions. Each piece is created through 3D wax prints, and then finished by hand

Atelier New York Store Opening

After being cooped up in a tenth floor gallery space in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, Atelier New York, the iconic shop that has been instrumental in promoting the way we dress now, has finally moved to a storefront location in Greenwich Village. It quietly opened its doors this past weekend at its new address, 20 West 8th St. The new interior has retained some of Atelier’s original fixtures, such as the long marble table and the fur-lined dressing rooms.

Gallery Aesthete Store Opening

On August 18th Gallery Aesthete reopened in Chicago. Moving from an intentionally hidden location in the city’s heart, the boutique is now situated in a storefront location in the Wicker Park neighborhood. The gallery’s brutalist design is a collaboration between interior architect Lukas Machnik and Gallery Aesthete’s owner, Stephen Naparstek. Formerly a menswear store, the newly expanded store now includes a carefully selected womenswear section, featuring designers such as Rick Owens and Shaun Leane.
