While this trifecta trend—nonsymmetrical design in oversized, geometric-leaning shapes—is seen across numerous indie eyewear brands, this sunglass from Mykita caught our eye in particular. Perhaps in part due to the exaggeration of the trend; perhaps in part due to the execution of the images from the creative mind of legendary photographer Mark Borthwick.

The lenses are cut from a one-piece shield, creating an irregular border with an organic shape over the nose bridge. A small detail with a big impact.
