An Icon of JMM reimagined by a living icon, handcrafted in a color story named after a song written by Patti Smith, “Mauvais sang,” which is French for "bad blood" and was used by the poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) to describe a chaotic or restless state. Here, these limited-edition, ‘60s-inspired spectacles are composed of Polished Warm Gray plant-based acetate, complemented by armorlite lenses in ruby, with our signature arrowhead front-pins in sterling silver featuring bloodstone inlays, as well as exposed custom wirecores finely engraved with lyrics from Smith’s song “Land,” and inner temples foil-stamped with the artist’s signature in silver.
LIMITED PRODUCTION BATCH OF 250 PIECES
Proudly presenting a limited-edition collection of handcrafted eyewear designed in partnership with one of the most influential American artists of the modern era. Celebrating a lifetime of creativity, innovation, and influence, we're honored to join the acclaimed singer, songwriter, poet, painter, and author as she celebrates the 50th anniversary of her landmark album, Horses (1975). "For me, this collaboration has been like writing a song with another person," says Smith, "except that this time, it's about our visual and design sense coming together to create something unusual. I hope people will like it."
