How they made their DPM line of sunglasses from start to finish.
I’m a sucker for “making of” and documentary style videos. Very inspiring.
The process of making the camouflage acetate itself over at Mazzucchelli 1949 is incredible.
Check out more on the DPM collection over at IVI. Prices for various models appear to be around $200. I don’t know if all $200+ pairs of sunglasses have that much work go into them, but if so I have a new appreciation for all of mine.
If the military made these standard issue it would further complicate “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”:
There would definitely be some fabulous soldiers walking around. How much more would enemies hate the U.S. if they knew everyone had ~$500 designer sunglasses issued as a part of their kit. Sheeeeeeeeeeit…. almost makes me wish it would happen.
Available in gold and chrome as pictured for €380 ($491 USD) over at Colette.
