Designer Introduction
Illesteva eyewear
Inspired by 1950s-era Havana, Illesteva’s debut collection pays tribute to the characters who ruled the entertainment capital of the time.
Using materials as varying as bamboo, acetate, titanium, and steel, this up-and-coming eyewear label is set to the rule the world of sunglasses. Featuring older people modeling the pieces, the line’s summer lookbook is enough to make you fall in love with the whimsical range. We especially love the ‘Frieda’ frames for their perfectly round, animal-print finish – they’re sure to be seen on an Olsen or two in the next few months.
Illesteva eyewear, from $165, ships internationally from Colette and Opening Ceremony.
