Super hot German eye and sunglass line MYKITA has been busy during fashion week. Berlin Fashion Week for all of us in the throws of New York Fashion Week. They’ve teamed up with two super hot German designers Bernard Wilhelm and c.neeon to show new styles from their collection. First up, Bernard Wilhelm’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection: Skiing is an ancient sport and method of transportation, and it was specifically the slalom wizardry, downhill heroics and fearless jumpers seen at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck that provided the inspiration for the collection. To accompany his skimpy ski outfits, Willhelm joined forces with MYKITA to present three mirrored aviator-style metal frames.
