Colab Think Tank No. 2


Australian eyewear label Colab has been a refreshing addition to the market place, introducing the concept of artist collaborations into a new market.
Presenting you their latest models. This time the label got together with DMote and Genevieve Gauckler.
Dmote is an amazing Australian graffiti artist, who has set the bar in Australia and in many cases the world. The artist designed a white pair of sunglasses, featuring a 3D fly all-over design.
With a focus on pop culture and her simple but striking characters, Gauckler images are unnervingly empowering and emotive- despite their flatter-than-flat 2D styling. Working heavily with companies such as F communications and Yves Saint Laurent, Gauckler is a new and very exciting addition to the Colab family. The name should ring a bell, since we have already presented you both toys and other products from the artist. For Colab she designed a pair of black sunglasses, as usual featuring striking graphics.
