Cutler and Gross COLOUR STUDIO THE ILLUSTRATOR GR03 Eyewear

The GR03 invokes the spirit of revered American author and illustrator, Art Spiegelman. Rarely photographed without his trademark angular optical glasses, the GR03 borrows this silhouette and reimagines it with considered design details and technical elements which elevate both its form and function. Angular exterior bevelling coupled with a high nose bridge reflect the stylistic inspirations for this frame, whilst weight saving interior milling maximises wearability and comfort.
The Graham Cutler Collection is inspired by Mr Cutler’s original capsule collection first launched in our Knightsbridge store in 2003. His customers worked in creative industries, they liked the bold look of Cutler and Gross frames but were looking for eyewear they could wear all day in their respective creative fields. The collection draws on Mr Cutler’s obsession with fit and function. Construction is streamlined, offering layers of detail and craftsmanship paired with lightness and comfort. The muses for this collection were ink creatives from the 1940s through to the 1970s, including American screenwriters and illustrators, a traditional Japanese tattooist and highly regarded influential poets of the 20th century American poetry scene.
Each season our dedicated Colour Studio selects premium acetates which are woven into the collection in strange and wonderful ways. The Colour Studio editions are made on a single run of specially selected acetate, meaning that once the colour has been used, it will not be reissued. The richly pigmented archive brand colour Ink is the Colour Studio edition for the Graham Cutler Collection, paying homage to a particular tenet of Mr Cutler’s process; his preliminary technical sketches drawn only by hand in blue ink. It comes with official Cutler and Gross "Special Edition" case and certificate of authenticity.
