MILAN MILANO ITALY | VIA MONTENAPOLEONE FOCUS ON | VIA MONTENAPOLEONE FASHION DESIGN LUXURY

The first collection of Kiton sunglasses for men features extremely clean lines, typical of the creations from this Neapolitan maison. The best in Italian creativity is combined with the most advanced technologies to bring to life a pleasant retro style that has been reinterpreted with a modern twist: a very difficult challenge which involves shapes and materials and craftsmanship and colours encountering an almost perfect balance with one another.

There are four main concepts that can be found in these first seven models, with one, the KK7001K Ciro – the star, dedicated to Ciro Paone, aka Mr. Kiton – made from solid 18kt gold.

In addition to the white gold and yellow gold versions, the collection also features an exclusive use of titanium, glass and plastic. The common elements are an original, tapered temple and a decidedly discreet presence of the Kiton logo, which is contained only on the inside of the frames. The colours that have been chosen for the plastic range from tobacco to brown to grey, with refined variations in black-maroon and mauve. Titanium, which is strictly Made in Japan in order to offer the Kiton man the absolute best – is available in the colours of gold, ruthenium and palladium as well as in black and bronze. With regard to the lenses, the colours are extremely soft and include brown, green and grey. All of the lenses, which are quite thin, thereby resulting in glasses that are extremely lightweight, are made from polarized glass with anti-reflective treatment. Finally, there are no wrap-around models, so the glasses are suitable for mounting ophthalmic filters.

“The collection,” says Antonio De Matteis, CEO of Kiton, “is available in Kiton flagship stores in Milan (via Gesù 11), New York, Paris, Cologne, Munich, Hamburg, London, Moscow, Beijing, Chengdu, Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul in addition to a very select number of resellers. Prices range from 600 Euros to 6,000 Euros, for the solid gold Ciro model.”

Kiton’s packaging is also exclusive: a refined box in eco-leather, bound with a stainless steel mesh insert. Inside, in addition to the sunglasses case, there is a microfiber cloth, lens-cleaning solution and a detailed information leaflet on the care and cleaning of the glasses.
