FAKBYFAK X Manish Arora: Rebels Collaboration Collection Evie SwitzerDecember 12, 201624 viewsFashion0 Comments24 views Images of the past and future, horrifying dreams and sweet illusions, human beings and mystical creatures are mixed in incomprehensible, paradoxical and stunning sunglasses, introducing the FAKBYFAK X Manish Arora: Rebels collection. The collection includes two different styles, each in four colour combinations. Inspiration came from the mood and themes of Manish Arora’s A/W’16 clothing collection “Hell’s Belle”, which has an amalgamation of creative influencers from Twin Peaks to Haribo, with a sprinkling of Americana, African and the extravagance style of Burning Man. The frame’s models are a reworked take on the form of classic aviator glasses. Aviators were developed specifically for military pilots in the first half of the XX century, namely in 1930. Cinema and pop culture worked in tandem to define and canonise the aviator style through the following decades. The teardrop lens design has not changed significantly over the years – however, with mathematical precision, the familiar form was redesigned, adding rotating lenses, resulting in an accidental provocative flavour. Ironically inverted aviator frames resulted in an unexpectedly feminine manner, and became the idea for another model in the collection.
