Alain Mikli

Emerging from formal training, designer Alain Mikli launched his now iconic eyewear company with a vision: to redefine the industry, transforming eyewear from purely functional pieces to stylish accessories in their own right, or as the designer described it, 'jewelry for the eyes'. In recent years, the French label has become a byword for innovation, delivering accessories that define the concept of functional fashion. Its statement pieces are worn by a number of celebrities, including the likes of Grace Jones, Lenny Kravitz and Andy Warhol.
