AM Eyewear takes us on a journey through time to a golden era of luxury in the MiamiHigh Collection, evoking the glamor and vibrancy of the 70’s in the Magic City throughout this new season of iconic frames from the cult eyewear label.

Paying homage to the resonance of Miami’s sparkling crystal beaches, pastel art-deco architecture, and the vibrant lives that swooned through it all from one sunrise to the next, AM Eyewear founder Simon (Kumar) Ponnusamy has captured that magic from the air and channeled it into AM Eyewear’s new collection.

“Each set of frames in Miami High transports us to a time when colour was everywhere, and the glamour of disco swept through fashion,” says Simon. “With a dream-like approach to tints and textures, each frame opens a portal to sun-drenched days by the hotel pool and frenzied nights beneath the disco ball lights, surrounded by captivating beauty and power players,” he says.

Miami High collection expands AM Eyewear’s beloved frames with a new range of angles, shapes and facets to suit every moment and memory. This stunning collection uses sustainably produced custom gradient coloured Zeiss bio-based lenses inspired by sweeping sunsets, and Italian-made bio-based acetate in the dreamy hues of Miami.

This year, AM Eyewear accentuates their latest limited edition range with exquisite reflective metal collector cards, emblazoned with individual serial numbers. Having seen the trend of previous limited editions collected and traded by aficionados around the world, each frame in the 11 limited edition styles is now certified as 1 of 50 bespoke colour ways.

Focused on a sustainable future, AM Eyewear is proud to include ZEISS SunlensSustainable Polyamide in their Miami High collection. This innovative line reduces their carbon footprint by 50% compared to standard lenses with 39% substitution by bio-based raw materials, made from agricultural and wood industry waste.

ABOUT AM EYEWEAR

Australian cult eyewear brand AM Eyewear was founded in 2003, thanks largely to the absence of unique hand-crafted frames within Australia. Drawing on their AustralianMade namesake, AM’s mission to create beautiful and exceptional eyewear soon matured into a global wholesale company with leading optical and fashion stockists worldwide. Handcrafted in Italy and Japan, using a combination of Titanium plated with real Gold and Acetates from Japan and Italy, AM Eyewear sunglasses are fitted with co-branded nylon Zeiss lenses and Gold ET AR back coating. Designed by hand using traditional methods, each step in the manifestation of a frame uses processes passed on by master artisans, combined with the latest in eyewear technology. In an industry where multinational companies are all about the numbers sold, AMEyewear’s ethos is to be a creator of eyewear and not a counter of eyewear. See through the difference.
