Continually pushing envelopes, Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing references the best of the Parisian house’s incredible archives and relies on the singular savoir-faire of its talen- ted artisans, as he shakes things up in luxury fashion. That’s Akoni’s M.O., as well. Based in Lugano, designed in Los Angeles and produced in Japan, Akoni relies on a global team of crafts- men to create the type of eyewear that aligns perfectly with a thoroughly mod- dern-yet-historic house like Balmain. These eyeglasses, with mesh metal si- depieces referencing the steampunk silhouette, underline Akoni’s determi- nation to rely on tradition and classic design to fashion bold, sophisticated and modern pieces for those men and women who never pass by unnoticed.
