Portrait Eyewear - Sioux Black Gold - Optical Glasses - Handmade in Italy - Exclusive Luxury

Portrait Eyewear - 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.

Portrait Eyewear - Sioux Black Gold - Optical Glasses - Handmade in Italy - Exclusive Luxury Collection

Channeling the dark elegance of ‘80s gothic underground, Sioux blends the raw energy of post-punk and new wave. Inspired by the aesthetic of influential icons like Siouxie and the Banshees, this piece captures the essence of a movement where the unconventional became a manifesto. With its sleek, metallic details and sharp, angular lines PORTRAIT-style, Sioux is the companion piece to the Cocteau, both designed to tribute an era fueled by raw energy and avant-garde sensibility.

In PORTRAIT ® we care about creating the best quality handmade eyewear with original design. All our frames are the result of the experimentation of form, materials, craftsmanship and Art-driven inspiration.

The Glitch series to which this specific eyewear belongs, have been inspired in the Video ART movement, where the artistic innovation happens within an intangible “place”.

The Glitch is an “error” that often becomes the element of beauty. Pixels, image fragmentation, noise and coloured bars are some of the resources of this fascinating artistic expression.

Having taken inspiration from Video ART, Glitch is the only PORTRAIT ® series that has been interpreted through a 2D material, therefore stainless steel. The metal is yet enriched with acetate and finishes that result from photo-cut and galvanisation, in different colours and textures. Limited edition eyewear of precious craftsmanship.
