The Graham Cutler AW25 collection revives a set of archived prototypes originally created for narrower facial structures. Each model is reduced, rebalanced, and rebuilt in dense acetate shaped through deep milling. The visual language remains constant: clear geometry, firm volumes, Italian manufacturing, no external branding. The line is structured around five optical families and three […]
Collection Foundations
The archived frames preserved in Knightsbridge formed a precise library for refined features. AW25 reintroduces these structures through scale reduction, angle correction, and stabilised optical alignment. The material defines the silhouette: thick acetate, controlled rigidity, and 3D milling combined with bevel work to lighten the perceived weight. No decorative excess; only construction dictates form.
GR10 — Compact Square
reduce frontal pressure. Width and height achieve a clean balance suited to smaller facial dimensions.
Colors: Black, Multi Havana, Olive.
Technical Logic
Dense acetate adjusted for structural stability.
Softened angles without losing definition.
Italian execution ensuring edge precision.
GR13 — Structured Oval
GR13 combines an undulating brow line with a regulated oval. The 8 mm acetate provides volume controlled through milling. Its proportions follow original prototypes designed for lighter and narrower faces.
Optical colors: Black Horn, Havana, Striped Dark Green.
Sun colors: Black Horn, Mustard Horn.
Internal Structure
Continuous upper curve for uniform support.
Thick volume balanced by milling to reduce mass.
Consistent architecture between optical and sun versions.
GR14 — Reduced Aviator
GR14 compresses the 0822 aviator. The 8 mm acetate is milled to reduce visual mass while retaining the pilot identity.
Small: Black, Multi Havana, Multi Olive, Grey on Granny Chic.
Large: Black, Mustard Horn, Grey on Granny Chic.
Sun: Black, Mustard Horn, Grey on Granny Chic, Grey Havana Polarised, Dark Grey Polarised.
Form Strategy
Reduced height avoiding an oversized effect.
Hinge placement limiting lateral spread.
Bevel work smoothing the front profile.
GR15 — 1394 Variant
GR15 reinterprets the 1394 in a reduced version. Double brow bar, 8-Star Compass pins, compact pilot silhouette.
Small: Black, Multi Havana, Multi Olive, Grey on Granny Chic.
Large: Black on Havana, Havana, Multi Olive.
Sun: Black on Havana, Havana, Multi Olive, Grey Havana Polarised, Dark Grey Polarised.
Structural Analysis
Upper bar reinforcing frontal tension.
Historical details integrated without visual burden.
Width optimised for narrow features.
GR16 — Reinterpreted Panto
GR16 revisits vintage panto shapes from the founder’s personal archive. A slightly flattened round form, compact body, precise optical centre.
Colors: Black, Havana, Olive, Classic Navy Blue.
Functional Points
Moderated roundness suitable for daily use.
Balanced bridge ensuring even contact.
Simple and functional silhouette.
Sunglasses Graham Cutler AW25
he AW25 sun collection applies the same structural discipline found in the optical range: reduced proportions, 8 mm acetate, deep milling, and silhouettes rebuilt from archive material designed for narrower faces. The solar line preserves the original geometry while introducing lens-specific adjustments and polarised variants without adding visual weight.
GR13 — Structured Oval Sun
Undulating brow line, 8 mm acetate, compact proportions.
Colors: Black Horn, Mustard Horn.
GR14 — Reduced Aviator Sun
Condensed interpretation of the 0822 aviator.
Colors: Black, Mustard Horn, Grey on Granny Chic, Grey Havana Polarised, Dark Grey Polarised.
GR15 — Solar Variant of the 1394
Double brow bar, 8-Star Compass pins, controlled upper tension.
Colors: Black on Havana, Havana, Multi Olive, Grey Havana Polarised, Dark Grey Polarised.
Brand Perspective
Since 1969, Cutler and Gross has approached eyewear as architecture: dense material, defined curves, no external logos, and a reliance on shape rather than decoration. Italian and Japanese manufacturing ensures consistency and precision. The Graham Cutler AW25 collection continues this direction by reconstructing archival models into a coherent, durable system.
The Graham Cutler AW25 range forms a compact architecture built around GR10, GR13, GR14, GR15, and GR16, extended by solar counterparts. Reduced proportions, thick milled acetate, controlled silhouettes, and an adherence to the brand’s long-standing structural identity define the collection.
