Art-Inspired Eyewear - Handcrafted in Italy
Founded by two half-Venezuelan/Spanish siblings in Bassano del Grappa (Italy) in April 2016 with passion for authentic craftsmanship, contemporary design and supporting small enterprises with a meaningful vision, PORTRAIT Eyewear is the only brand in the eyewear market entirely influenced by contemporary art. The shapes are the result of in-depth design research with experimentation at the heart of the product, strongly influenced by art-history movements and dedicated to iconic figures. Coherent with the project’s art soul, the communication is based on the promotion of emerging artists in a fair cooperation that co- endorses both players; the brand and its fascinating testimonials.
DAS MODEL is perhaps the most iconic PORTRAIT model, by far one of our most loved pieces in the Editorial series. Whether you are looking to embrace your glam side or your more romantic self, these super-contemporary rounded frames are the perfect pick.
JUNE is PORTRAIT's most heartfelt tribute to Video Art. This original eyewear piece, conceived as both opticals and sunglasses, evokes the trendy cat-eyes shape with an almost abstracted, digital twist.
ELIASSON are PORTRAIT’s homage to the classic aviator frame, now an updated rounded silhouette that’s highly adaptable to most face shapes. With its distinct contemporary feel and a strong and timeless identity in which round and sharp lines are blended together, ELIASSON’s highlights are in its uncompromising attention to detail and its strength.

FAB is a tribute to the analog world of cassettes and the urban fashion of the 80s, inspired by the hard-hitting grooves of 80s hip-hop icons like Run DMC and Grandmaster Flash. These oversized square frames take you back to the days of the boombox and like most retro audio devices from that era, FAB has a solid, durable design.
