SHADES LIKE JAGGER: Parisian label Pressiat has teamed with luxury eyewear brand Thierry Lasry on an eyewear design inspired by the gender fluid glamour of the 1970s.
The design, a futuristic interpretation of the cat-eye and aviator shapes popular during the period, features a lens that extends over the nose bridge and plays on a mask-meets-cosmonaut vibe.
Its name is a nod to Rolling Stones front man and perennial fashion plate Mick Jagger, who left a deep impression on designer Vincent Garnier Pressiat after they met on the Parisian’s 23rd birthday.

“I’ve always been in love with his outfits, which are incredible, and the energy of this man, his music, his whole look with oversize eyewear,” he told WWD. “So it was mandatory to call it Jagger.”

It is the culmination of a collaboration that began when Lasry eyewear made a cameo in the Pressiat fall 2024 and spring 2025 shows.
For Garnier Pressiat, who “can’t leave the house without glasses and [finds] no outfit is complete without a pair,” Lasry’s “futuristic vintage” style with a dash of rock ’n’ roll, as well as “the clarity of his lines, the sculptural process and the sophistication” resonated with his own work.
As for Lasry, he was drawn to “the truly unique energy in Vincent’s work,” he said. “There’s something both sensually aggressive and full of grace, values that are close to me and that also align well with the DNA of the Thierry Lasry brand.”
The eyewear will make its debut Tuesday, accenting fall looks inspired by “a play on light, a play of blacks and depth,” which is also figured in the patterns of the acetate used for the eyewear, Garnier Pressiat said.
A print of leather strips, dressing the glasses’ bespoke packaging and pouch, also plays into this idea. It will be revisited as a couture dress that will be unveiled at an event on March 31 in New York City.
Available in eight colorways and priced at 450 euros in Europe, or $575 in the U.S., the collaboration will drop in selected stores as well as on the online stores of both brands on April 1.
