#EMBRACETHESPECTACLE
Jacques Marie Mage debuts a collection of inspired eyewear.
Maker of small masterpieces; of collectible objects steeped in deep histories; of coveted products brimming with idiosyncrasy and elegance, Jacques Marie Mage strives to break from the banality of retroactive fads and imitative fashions, choosing instead a dynamic design praxis that draws inspiration from across oceans and ages, and combines craft motifs with quality materials, advanced production methods, and ethical business practices.
A testament to ocular originality, the spectacles embrace an array of rich materials, bold geometric shapes and an exuberance of attitude. Individually, each pair has a story to tell, reconfiguring the aesthetic influences of bygone eras from Brutalist architecture to Napoleonic regalia — in wholly contemporary terms. The resulting eyewear collection consists of precisely crafted objects of impressive physicality, refined statement pieces that are powerful, playful, and meaningfully anachronistic.
To this end, J.M.M.’s debut collection of inspired eyewear is a testament to ocular originality. As a group, the spectacles embrace an array of rich materials, bold geometric shapes, and an exuberance of attitude. Individually, each pair has a story to tell, re-configuring the aesthetic influences of bygone eras from Brutalist architecture to Napoleonic regalia — in wholly contemporary terms. The resulting eyewear collection consists of precisely crafted objects of impressive physicality, refined statement pieces that are powerful, playful, and meaningfully anachronistic.
“Our work is about history, authenticity, and craft,” comments founder and designer Jerome Jacques Marie Mage. “It’s also about honesty. We’re not trying to take classic shapes and just color them or twist them in some clever way. Our obsession with quality demands that we utilize only the most premium materials, develop only the most innovative hardware, and utilize only the most respectable eyewear manufacturers in the world.”
