Description

Born from the collaboration between Maison Sekimoto and Parisian eyewear house Lafont, the “Ouvrage” embroidered sunglasses in black transcend the idea of an accessory to become a wearable work of art.

Every detail bears the mark of excellence: the deep black frame, both graphic and timeless, becomes the canvas for embroidery crafted with Haute Couture techniques. Sequins, pearls, and crystals are hand-applied, creating a luminous relief that catches the light and elevates the gaze.

Behind this creation lies the hand of Satoshi Sekimoto, MOF in Haute Couture Embroidery and Master Artisan of Fine Crafts. His artistry fuses Japanese precision with French expressiveness, turning each stitch into a signature. By transposing embroidery—traditionally confined to couture ateliers—into the realm of fine eyewear, this piece embodies rare audacity: bringing a centuries-old savoir-faire into a new horizon.

Awarded the 2023 Silmo d’Or Special Jury Prize, the black “Ouvrage” embroidered sunglasses embody the dialogue between tradition and innovation. They are not merely sunglasses, but the manifesto of a Maison dedicated to carrying Haute Couture embroidery beyond fashion, projecting its creative power into the world of luxury objects.

Composition: Metal frame (Lafont), Haute Couture embroidery crafted with Lunéville hook and needle, adorned with sequins and crystal beads.
