Assignment 2: Digital Shoplifting the Maison Margiela/Mykita sunglasses- Tyler
Original Product:
Maison Martin Margiela Mykita Two-Tone Sunglasses
+ (faux) Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglass lenses:
Step One:Photoshop mockup of warped Margiela/Mykita frames matching Ray Ban Wayfarer lenses
Step Two: determine lens shape and size
Step Three: outline Margiela Mykita frames in Illustrator
Step Four: adjust frame shapes to match Wayfarer lenses, prep shapes for laser cutting
(note: after initial laser cut trial, etched portion of lens was filled in solid red to estimate two-tone effect)
Step Seven: insert lenses (delicately – may need to use rotary tool to engrave lens seating divots inside lens frames)
(note: the frame arms were taken off a cheap pair of sunglasses, but in the process one of the hinge mounts snapped, so new hinges/arms need to be sourced and attached)
