Prince de Sassoun : Alain Mikli’s Inspiration for His New Collection

View the Sassoun Collection by Alain Mikli, Saturday November 19th 10am to 5pm

Only at Wink eyewear

In his latest collection, Alain Mikli takes direct inspiration from the rich color palette, retro-futuristic appeal and heroic austerity of Prince de Sassoun, a French comic book by Alban Guillemois and Yvon Bertorello.  The comic is an inventive and fanciful retelling of Armenian folklore that imparts the importance of joy and optimism in the face of doom and gloom.

Join us for an epic storybook adventure.

Told through eyewear.

(a tale of fashion, art and experience.)

In his latest collection, Alain Mikli takes direct inspiration from the rich color palette, retro-futuristic appeal and heroic austerity of Prince de Sassoun, a French comic book by Alban Guillemois and Yvon Bertorello.  The comic is an inventive and fanciful retelling of Armenian folklore that imparts the importance of joy and optimism in the face of doom and gloom.

This Saturday, November 19th, we will explore this captivating fairytale as told through Alain Mikli and his creations.  Complex constructions of acetate and steel foils are combined to create playfully bright and rhythmic layers that give the impression of volume.  Frames are provocative and ethereal, light yet strong and exhibit the highest quality of craftsmanship and patented fit for which the Mikli brand is known.

Etnia Barcelona Trunk Show

Explore the newest series of eyewear from Etnia Barcelona with us this weekend! Normally we are only capable of exhibiting forty to sixty pieces of any one collection, but during a trunk show we have the capacity to show the complete line in its entirety.

FRIDAY, OCT 14 — 2PM to 7PM
SATURDAY, OCT 15 — 10AM to 2PM

Etnia Barcelona is the independent brand of eyewear whose collection focuses on color, design, comfort, value and quality. When we started Etnia ten years ago, we had no knowledge how to create a brand, little understanding about global logistics, and no marketing expertise. What we did have was the desire to win over the world with our designs, a commitment to quality, a desire to delight our customers, to continue improve and innovate the perfect eyewear collection Etnia Barcelona.

“We want to do what we like, say what we like, talk of important things, move away from success and beauty, talk seriously about what is out there, revive long-lost values like freedom. We are free, we denounce everything that makes the world worse, we exalt what makes it great, we grab onto life, we turn it around, we look at it shamelessly and we make it a work of art, we are artists of our own lives, we bestow it with the dance it asks of us. Starting now we are not resigned to reality because that attitude is already part of the past.”
