It’s that time of year again when the who’s who of the cultural scene touch down in Miami to enjoy all that Art Basel has to offer. An almost week-long affair of exclusive events, after-parties and moments of rest and relaxation here and there make for an unforgettable experience – and this time, Vintage Frames Company (VF) joined the festivities. Last night, December 4, VF debuted a collaborative eyewear collection with legendary graffiti artist Stash at its Miami Beach flagship.

VF’s signature silhouettes – the Bowie, the King Size and the XXL – received a bold revamp by Stash who infused his iconic visual language into the trio. The New York City native honored his graffiti roots with the three-piece collection by placing his signature spray nozzle pattern inside the frames of the black acetate shades. The details don’t end there: attendees at the VF x Stash event experienced first-hand how the spray nozzles – coated in 24kt gold – doubled as rivets on the frames, further nodding to Stash’s graffiti background.

In creating the trios, Stash continues to reference his roots, paying homage to his NYC upbringing with a custom hand-coated asphalt gradient lens. The finishing touch on these limited edition frames – of which only 100 pairs were made – is a collectible case shaped like a spray can, complete with a cleaning solution and dust cloth.
At the Thursday evening event in Miami, the Bowie, King Size, and XXL shades were available for purchase at $300 USD each—and are now available online at vintageframescompany.com.
