Our annual collaboration where three Fashion Master’s students created an exclusive eyewear capsule collection is back.
Inspired by the representation of women in Surrealism, Chloë Reners’ collection explores the fragmentation and transformation of the female body in art. Drawing from the dreamlike works of George Underwood, she investigates how visual distortions shape our perception of reality.
Her process
Translating this concept into eyewear, Chloë reimagines the structure of sunglasses by slicing them horizontally and shifting the pieces, disrupting symmetry and function. This deliberate distortion challenges the boundaries between the familiar and surreal, mirroring Underwood’s otherworldly figures.
Sybrand explores the tension between decay and preservation. His collection is an ode to objects at the edge of their life cycle – faded, wrinkled, and marked by time – capturing their essence just before they vanish. Inspired by archives where aged garments are frozen in time, Sybrand reflects on the act of intervention: how we preserve what is fleeting, suspending it in a state between past and present.
His process
This idea takes shape in his sunglasses design, inspired by a discarded pair he once saw on the street – crushed, broken, yet still holding traces of its former life. Rather than restoring it to perfection, he embraced its damaged form, reassembling it as if time itself had sculpted the frame. The result is a piece that challenges our perception of beauty and imperfection, transforming wear and tear into something timeless.
Delara Tavassoti’s collection explores the delicate balance between structure and spontaneity. Her collection captures the tension between youthful curiosity and the weight of adulthood – where refinement meets playfulness, and perfection gives way to possibility. Inspired by puzzle-like patterns and subtle misalignments, Delara’s work embraces the beauty of incompleteness, reflecting the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery.
Her process
This concept takes form in her sunglasses design, where sections of the frame are deliberately left out, creating a bold yet wearable statement. Like a puzzle with missing pieces, the design invites interpretation, celebrating the idea that not everything needs to be whole to be meaningful.
