Yves Saint Laurent 30-7611 Sunglasses

Rimless eyewear allows for the wearer to see the world without the obstruction of a traditional frame. Perhaps the ultimate expression of Yves Saint Laurent designer's take on the a rimless frame in the 1980s is this model 30-8611, which features ridged metal temples that form a "Y" and attach to the lenses with screws. A prominent "YSL" logo can be found at the intersection of the straight temple and the arms of the "Y." This style features a teal-colored top ridge. 

For those who wish to have the ultimate in lightweight, floating, retro-futuristic eyewear, Yves Saint Laurent has produced the perfect frames. Lenses are a gradient pink; perfect for standing out.

The mid-1980s to early 1990s witnessed the beginnings of the Japanese manufacturing market in a mainstream capacity. Murai Co. Ltd. , at this time, was a Japanese eyewear manufactory based out of Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. Retaining a reputation of personifying commissioned product with an imbuement of the fundaments of a line's identity. Prestigious quality in craft, they'd instill the very essence of a line's concept into their frames. Although, a global giant, now, the 1980s/1990s was something of an artisanal period for Murai. Some of the more reputed eyewear of this period was crafted by Murai, YSL was one of them.

Deemed an acme of YSL's eyewear history, their designs were realized by the brilliance of Murai. Avant garde, industrial, mechanical... design features trending in the latter 1980s,  YSL's eyewear design array would be beautifully developed. Yet, still sensible and classic, bestowing to the DNA of YSL's notoriety, Murai's ability with precision and comprehension would enmesh the Parisian concept of YSL's designs into creation.
