NYC: December 9th, 2023

Nouvelle Chicane Inspirations:

Friday night December 9th, Nouvelle Chicane Eyewear visited the new exhibition at the MET museum on 5th Ave entitled Women Dressing Women.  The exhibition was assembled by the famous and revered Costume Institute and its benefactor, the annual MET Gala

The exhibit includes dress designs from 1910 through today, including designers from Europe such as Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Madeleine Vionnet, and American houses such as Ann Lowe, Claire McCardell, and Isabel Toledo, Iris van Herpen, Rei Kawakubo, Anifa Mvuemba, and Simone Rocha.

The challenge: “find the ideal pairings between the finest dress at the exhibition and a Nouvelle Chicane frame from our latest collection.

More to come……

The result :

Nouvelle Chicane’s last show

The Nouvelle Chicane studio is neighbors with the The MET in midtown Manhattan. We use this for inspiration and influence in our design process.

Inspiration from the MET

For you?  Yes, of course!!!  Nouvelle Chicane produces colorful frames upon request and consultation.  We make them all to order. Each color is mixed by hand with our special dyes and sealing techniques in our New York City studio.  Every color is unique, and we only make it once, so it’s yours alone.

When you pair crisp forest green frames with lavender gradient lenses, you realize the extra effort is worth it.  And nobody else will have it.
