SHAPED BY TECHNOLOGIC DIALECTIC
BUILD FOR CHANGE THE WORLD
Unique eyewear that invites you to participate in a forward-thinking movement. Contemporaneous look, subtly futuristic, conceptual and timeless.
VAVA seeks to foster a dialogue between crafts and high-tech, using the most advanced technologies. A techno product that, at same time, embodies the experience, knowledge and art of the great masters of the handmade eyewear. This approach, combined with the use of the highest quality materials, makes VAVA unique.
HARRI — ARTIST AND DESIGNER
HARRI and VAVA collaborate on a new eyewear collection inspired by Harri’s passion for fashion and art.
The collaboration with the fashion designer is born to highlight the link between avant-garde fashion and independent eyewear design.
HARRI is a London-based sculptural fashion studio redefining contemporary design through deeply personal, culturally-rooted craftsmanship. Creatively directed by India-born artist and designer HARRI, the brand designs and handcrafts every piece in its London studio, transforming the body into a moving sculpture. HARRI has worked with Sam Smith, Björk, Katy Perry, K-pop band XG and showcased his work at V&A, Desgin Museum, Royal Academy of Arts and Barbican Centre.
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND HARRI
At the heart of HARRI is a refusal to accept the body as a fixed form. The brand exists to sculpt minds, to enable individuals to step into the impossible versions of themselves. Drawing on the endless possibilities of human anatomy, HARRI’s design practice moves between fashion, performance and sculpture: three disciplines that collapse into one another, each feeding the next. Every silhouette is an act of questioning. Every inflated form, a proposal for how we might see ourselves differently. Rebellious by instinct, elegant by conviction, HARRI does not dress the body. It reimagines it.
COLLABORATION
Open collaboration is the result of two or more parties working towards creating a product where none of the stakeholders compromises their own identity. If anything, what each of parts does is somehow potentiated. And the end result can only be positive.
VAVA collaborates with like-minded artists and designers who share a similar vision and purpose. Together, we delve into unchartered territories in an effort to create unique and innovative products, first-of-its-kind in the market.
