A rare and most iconic frame, an amalgam of exquisite design and top quality of manufacture and materials, created by legendary American designer Pilar Crespi in the early 80's, daughter of countess Consuelo Crespi-head editor of Vogue magazine. This is the one of the very few eyeglasses edition she ever created, very rare, much sought after by collectors and users alike.

Entirely hand made light-weight Gold plated frame, weighing only 25 grams, tastefully complemented with tortoise brown Italian acetate stems, embellished with Art Deco style geometry accents and engraved logos on stems, equipped with high performance hinge systems, all in a wonderfully modernist frame architecture.

measurements:

Temple stem length: 140mm,

Lenses width: 57mm,

Lenses height: 45mm,

Nose bridge: 13mm,

FULL FRONT WIDTH: 138mm.

In impeccable, new and unused condition, presenting proper markings, comes with quality hard case and microfiber lens cloth.

Can be fitted with either prescription or sun lenses, with enough lens height as to accommodate multi-focal (progressive, bi-focal) lenses.

A bit of Pilar Crespi history:
Pilar Crespi knows a thing or two about aesthetics. She worked for years as both a model and a fashion executive for brands like Valentino and Gucci. She later ran her own public-relations agency in New York City. These days, Crespi is a Miami-based philanthropist and sits on the boards of several arts organizations, including the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and New York’s Henry Street Settlement, where she serves as vice president. Crespi also co-founded and co-chairs the humanitarian-aid focused Source of Hope Foundation with her husband, Stephen Robert—an investment banker and former chancellor of Brown University.

Born into a fashion dynasty most often associated with Vogue magazine and a few of its international editions, particularly the Italian one, Crespi grew up going to museums. Later, while living in Rome, she became close with artists in the Arte Povera movement. Living in Miami since 2009, she still counts local artists as friends, frequenting their shows at galleries and museums alike.

Note: We will replace the nose-pads if needed, also, the temple stems can be easily reshaped at the optician during the lens replacement.
