Massada 2012 optical collection: Metropolis and Belle de Jour

Massada heads to Paris to shoot its latest glasses collection, inspired by European cinema by the likes of Fritz Lang and Luis Buñuel, and in the process presents some simply beautiful frames in rich, luxurious acetate.

We're particularly excited by the terrific cat's eye Metropolis.

Top to bottom:  Metropolis, Solaris, Belle de Jour and Sunset Boulevard, left.

Below are close-ups of Metropolis, Belle de Jour and The Cube.

Prices start at €205 or $264.

Massada Eyewear's SS2011 sunglass collection features, from the top, Sleeper, Spanish Coffee, Wiseman and, below, Big American Cat... Grrrrrr!

Massada glasses: Coffee means Dr Strange Love is no Sleeper

That was Sleeper.

This is Coffee...

This is clearly more Sleeper...

And this is Dr Strange Love...

And together they are just some of the highlights from Massada Eyewear's AW2010 collection; a new framemaker with Polish and British designers and some great classic shapes. I'm quite tempted by the round ones!
