Dita Meets Dita.

Re-imagining the cat-eye through the eyes of Dita Von Teese. An Iconic all-titanium frame for the modern Femme Totale.

“The cat-eye is a well-worn style, a silhouette that rarely transcends the era in which it was created,” she explained. “My goal was to keep within the spirit of the 1950’s, but to craft our version in a slick, new way as a secret weapon for the modern Femme Totale.” — Dita Von Teese

High-end craftsmanship and technology from DITA’s creative studio provided the tools to achieve a distinctive new shape for the landmark partnership. A slender expanse of titanium spans the brow in a single, sinuous line, stripping away extraneous elements for the illusion of a floating lens. Sculptural details, from the hinge mount to harlequin-point titanium temples, were inspired by selections from Von Teese’s vast collection of vintage couture and curiosities.

Design that finds Beauty in Purpose 
A bridgeless frame owing its distinctive shape to a slender expanse of titanium, which spans the frame’s acetate inlay in a single swoop at the brow.

Craftsmanship that Celebrates the Unseen

This aggressive cat-eye is crafted with a nylor lens mount, reducing mechanical tension between the lens and acetate rim while maintaining the frame’s minimal appearance.

Culture that Transcends Convention

Devised in collaboration with burlesque artist Dita Von Teese, this sinuous cat-eye frame channels the elegant sex appeal of the world’s most acclaimed cabaret performer.
