Kimmel is a New-York based designer, perhaps best known for his often unusual and elaborate presentations, and his collaborations with such iconic brands as Carhartt and Supreme. Each of his collections has a unique theme, and for the SS12 collection Adam was inspired by American west coat surf wear. Taking these classic silhouettes and reinterpreting them in luxury fabrics, with garments hand-tailored in Italy, Kimmel has created a highly refined yet natural-feeling collection entitled ‘Dark Surf’.

Designed by Adam Kimmel, and produced by French luxury eyewear brand Selima Optique, These high-grade acetate sunglasses are handmade in France, and feature polarised lenses, sturdy metal hinges and the unique rounded ‘Welder’ silhouette.
