Mykita uslu airlines Sunglasses style Eve. Mykita and uslu airlines first came together back in 2006 to co-design a limited edition of aviator sunglasses as a result of their shared “facially-focused” creative energies. Two models were born: EVE for the ladies and BOB for the men. Their names, as is tradition with uslu airlines, were inspired by airport destination codes, and as is traditional with MYKITA – are also first names: ‘BOB – bora bora motu mute’ located in French Polynesia and ‘EVE – evenes’ a destination in Norway. Both brands focus on enhancing, underlining and expressing personalities with colours, shapes and surface textures or materials. uslu airlines’ unique view of beauty met MYKITA’s industrial design approach and thus the pair ended up on a new and interesting route with a new MYKITA & uslu airlines Jet Set: a new edition of cult aviators BOB and EVE in three new striking colour coatings with matching nail polish! By picking what is probably the ugliest, least beautiful and most poorly organized airport in Germany as a name for such a striking colour, the pair finally created something cool to carry the name ‘Schönefeld’. All cleverly packaged in a small suitcase to further play on the travel theme. Mykita - a hot name in luxury eyewear. The colours are also repeated in the gradient lenses, which fade from black down to the respective frame colour. The nail polish, in co-branded MYKITA & uslu airline bottles, will also be available to purchase separately, for those people who use up their allocated dose rather quickly. It is not new for uslu airlines to find unexpected ways and areas for nail polish to be worn. Male hands and their (sometimes hairy) feet is one of their terrains, which is again being explored here. The combination with eyewear is a first. Faces, eyes and hands are used as our primary means of non-verbal communication, so this “colour doubler” will surely catch triple attention. Mykita’s design team draws heavily on natural sources of inspiration, as well as contouring cues from the latest developments in industrial design, in particular from aerodynamic and automotive styling. What distinguishes this pioneering team’s approach to design is their belief in the compatibility of technical innovation and classic elegance. Fueled by a visionary approach and experience in the world of design enables them to create the kinds of new concepts and designs that have made Mykita a worldwide success on the luxury eyewear market.
