MYKITA x Bernhard Willhelm Sunglasses
A long-running eyewear collaboration built around theatrical shields and color lenses.
Story & heritage
Bernhard Willhelm’s official biography notes a Mykita sunglasses collaboration beginning in 2009. The partnership continued as the designer shifted toward specific collaborations, with MYKITA’s own imagery documenting high-fashion sunglasses and lookbook frames.
Materials & craft
The reliable brand-level sources identify the collaboration as sunglasses, and the official imagery centers shield and visor-like frames with tinted or gradient lenses rather than standard optical shapes.

How to choose & style
Use them as the loudest accessory in the look: they work best against simple tailoring, hooded outerwear, or monochrome color so the visor silhouette stays architectural.
