We chose to do something a little different and set a challenge for our L’Orbitalli frames. While they look hot on the runways of Paris and Milan, would they handle the freezing cold of NYC?
Could we freeze them? Would they survive? See our time lapse video, for proof! It was fun. Our material was up to the job, and they can take plus 300 Fahrenheit too. If you have other challenges for our frames, please let us know… we would be happy to test them further.. please drop us a line at designer@nouvellechicane.com
DECEMBER 7, 2023 Brooklyn NYC: Nouvelle Chicane travelled from midtown (M to F train) to York St Station in DUMBO to visit the A.I.R. Gallery. Tomoko Amaki Abe had some interesting pieces on show that used light and dark moving projections. These were the most inspiring of the evening. The monochrome structures have similarities with what we use in our Forte frame.

Miami December 3, 2023: Nouvelle Chicane collaborates with Nini Nieves from BeastLife!

Zoom or in person, she will get your best effort and results.
Nini is an admittedly big fan of sunglasses and looking her best in the bright sun of southern Florida. Our passions found each other quickly and the match with Nouvelle Chicane was a natural one. You notice right away that Nini’s energy level is endless. She lifts weights, pushes her cardio, runs on the beach, roller skates and gets out on the water. Her positive energy in infectious.
Nouvelle Chicane’s fashion centric, robust well-designed frames go perfectly with her lifestyle. The strength and durability of our frames is a must. Her active lifestyle includes weightlifting, roller skating and beach volleyball. Any one of these will ruin many of the delicate brands. Not Nouvelle Chicane.

November 24th, 2023, New York NY: Charlotte Jones Opticians officially debuted Nouvelle Chicane’s L’Orbitalli Riviera bold white frame today.
L’Orbitalli Boutique Riviera Sunglass frame is now on display at her garment district boutique on 509 Ninth Avenue. This frame has throwback inspired 1960s styling making a bold fashion statement. This same frame debuted in Nouvelle Chicane’s very first collection at Paris Fashion Week and remains a French favorite and international standout. The name is based upon the Orbital bones that define our facial structures. The Classic Carbon Black L’Orbitalli is our favorite, but white is a pure stunner.. We only use high quality lenses, including gradient and flash mirror. This light, comfortable frame is our most head turning style. Made in the USA (NYC). Styled forever.
The Nouvelle Chicane studio is neighbors with the The MET in midtown Manhattan. We use this for inspiration and influence in our design process.
