Dyades: a worthy heir to French luxury fashion houses
Founded in 2021 by Anissa Hamel and Benoît Chevallier, Dyades is an emerging brand of luxury eyewear. Its mission is to blend the rich traditions of French luxury with the innovative spirit of modern design. The co-founders pay homage to the iconic glasses of legendary French fashion houses such as Dior, Cartier, and Chanel, among others.
Luxury eyewear through the decades in France
Eyewear has long played a pivotal role in the world of fashion, evolving over centuries from a mere vision aid into a full-fledged fashion statement. Throughout the last century, French luxury fashion houses have cultivated their eyewear collections, with venerable names like Dior, Chanel, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton leading the way. While some brands focus on adapting to evolving trends with avant-garde designs, others explore new paths while preserving their distinctive essence.
Consider Chanel eyewear, for instance. Coco Chanel, a trailblazing force in the fashion world, laid the foundation for modern women’s fashion, showing audacity in an era when women’s voices often went unheard. Chanel, renowned for its millinery and high-fashion tailoring, expanded its portfolio to encompass an array of fashion accessories, makeup, luggage, footwear, and eyewear. Chanel glasses and sunglasses made their debut under the artistic direction of Karl Lagerfeld in 1983. The frames exude simplicity and elegance, enriched with a touch of refinement—a tribute to Coco Chanel’s signature black-and-white contrast.
Dyades: a promising French brand
Following in the footsteps of illustrious French fashion houses, the co-founders of Dyades are committed to delivering products that embody the quintessence of French luxury. Their creations seamlessly intertwine tradition and modern innovation, resulting in pieces that are both unique and original. Dyades models are designed not only to meet the aesthetic and comfort expectations of fashion enthusiasts, but also to elevate everyone’s style and confidence through the perfect accessory.
The collections of Dyades glasses and sunglasses transcend mere fashion accessories; they are veritable artworks. The high jewelry collections feature rare pieces with golden frames and diamond embellishments, all of which can be customized to suit the desires of their future owners. The designers draw inspiration from both past and present trends, the preferences of the public, and the deep-rooted culture of French luxury. Like the majority of Chanel high-end glasses, Dyades’ eyewear is meticulously handcrafted and assembled in well-equipped workshops by skilled and experienced artisans. These artisans seamlessly meld traditional craftsmanship with modern tools and techniques, resulting in frames that embody a perfect blend of beauty, sophistication, and comfort.
