About Philipp Plein:
Established by German fashion designer Philipp Plein, the Philipp Plein Eyewear Collection represents an audacious fusion of unconventional luxury and daring creativity. Since its inception, the brand has carved a distinct niche in the fashion world, captivating the imaginations of those who seek to push boundaries and challenge traditional norms.
Philipp Plein, known for his rebellious spirit and penchant for extravagance, launched his eponymous brand in 2004. With a background in law, he ventured into fashion with a vision to disrupt the industry and create a new paradigm for luxury. His unapologetic approach to design and refusal to adhere to conventions quickly gained attention, and the Philipp Plein brand rapidly became synonymous with a bold and unorthodox expression of luxury.
The eyewear collection by Philipp Plein embodies the brand's distinctive ethos, translating the designer's audacity and charisma into frames that exude confidence and individuality. Each design is an artistic manifestation of Philipp Plein's daring creativity, inviting wearers to embrace their unique identity and elevate their style.
The Philipp Plein sunglasses and glasses designs showcase a captivating blend of avant-garde elements and timeless sophistication. Drawing inspiration from various artistic and cultural influences, the frames challenge preconceived notions of luxury and redefine what eyewear can be. Philipp Plein's eyewear is not merely an accessory; it is an emblem of self-expression, daring wearers to make a statement and embrace their inner iconoclast.
Materials chosen for the construction of Philipp Plein's eyewear exemplify the brand's commitment to quality and a refusal to compromise on luxury. High-grade acetate, a lightweight and flexible plant-based plastic, is a prominent material used to craft frames. Its versatility allows for an array of bold colours and patterns, enabling Philipp Plein to create eyewear that is both visually striking and comfortable to wear.
Metal frames are another hallmark of the collection, adding a touch of contemporary elegance to the brand's offerings. Stainless steel and titanium are among the favoured metals, celebrated for their durability and ability to maintain their brilliance over time. The integration of metal elements in the designs reflects Philipp Plein's ability to balance audacious creativity with timeless sophistication.
The lenses in Philipp Plein's glasses and sunglasses collections are carefully selected to provide wearers with exceptional visual clarity and protection. Additionally, these lenses feature effective UV protection, safeguarding the eyes from harmful sun rays and ensuring optimal eye health.
Philipp Plein's eyewear collection caters to a diverse range of tastes and styles, offering frames that cater to the audacious and the avant-garde as well as those who seek classic elegance with a contemporary twist. From striking oversized shapes to sleek and minimalistic designs, the collection allows wearers to find eyewear that resonates with their unique sensibilities. Philipp Plein's eyewear collection is an emblem of audacity and creativity, inviting wearers to join the brand's unconventional journey and become part of a bold and innovative fashion movement.

Crizal® Sapphire™ HR, the best of Crizal coatings that provides transparency, durability and ease of care of the lenses.
Essilor has developed a thorough protocol to reinforce its testing methods, the Crizal Lifeproof multi-test. The performance of Crizal® Sapphire™ HR has been assessed under all conditions:
Whether we are at home, at work or shopping, we are exposed to multiple sources of light. Coming from all angles, light reaches your lenses and creates reflections. These reflections can be a source of discomfort and impact your everyday life by making us adopt new behaviours, consciously and subconsciously. We adjust our heads, changing our posture or even remove our spectacle lenses just reduce the visual impacts of reflections. Crizal Sapphire HR reduces reflections regardless of where the light comes from. By reducing the amount of reflections your vision will be purer with more vivid images and improved lens aesthetics when others look at you. Transparency has never been so visible.(4)
It has been found that UV can have a cumulative effect on your eyes contributing to premature eye ageing and is associated as a risk factor of cataracts.(5) Crizal Sapphire HR filters UV rays preventing them from passing through the front of your lens and preventing them from reflecting off of the back of your lens into your eye. Thanks to this unique UV protection enhancement Crizal Sapphire HR has an E-SPF rating of 35, the highest E-SPF index on clear lenses for optimal UV protection.(6)
Crizal Sapphire HR ensures your spectacle lenses are resistant and repellent from scratches, smudges, water droplets and dust particles. Meaning - your lenses are incredibly protected, clear and easy to clean. Which comes in handy when facing everyday activities.
