Luxury eyewear brand AF Reflect, and Berlin-based artist Mischa Fanghänel today announced the launch of their collaborative project: the limited-edition AF Reflect x NACHTS sunglasses. This collaboration marks Fanghänel's debut in the fashion market, bringing his unique vision of nightlife to a new audience.
Inspired by the captivating atmosphere of Berlin’s nightclubs, the AF Reflect x NACHTS sunglasses capture the interplay of light and shadow on the dance floor. Deep, dark tones represent the immersive darkness of the club, while striking red accents evoke the sudden brilliance of piercing red lights, creating vivid reflections. “These sunglasses are more than just eyewear; they are a statement,” says Mischa Fanghänel. “They represent movement, self-expression, and the unique magic found in the nocturnal world.”
The sunglasses are meticulously handcrafted in Italy using high-end acetate from Mazzucchelli and Carl Zeiss lenses, ensuring maximum comfort and eye protection. Skilled artisans with over 30 years of experience employ traditional techniques in AF Reflect's Varese laboratory near Milan, revealing the unique material identities of each pair.
Mischa Fanghaenel, a photographer and bouncer known for his immersive exploration of Berlin’s nightlife, brings his renowned artistic vision to this collaboration. His acclaimed series, NACHTS and Nightwatch, capture the pulsating energy and diverse human stories of club life, revealing a unifying harmony that transcends cultural boundaries. His masterful use of chiaroscuro techniques creates evocative narratives, challenging stereotypes and sparking conversations about identity and community.
The wholesale price of the glasses is €82. They are now available to the public for €220 at reflect-eyewear.com.
