From Fashion to Eyewear: Tilmann Grawe’s Eponymous Brand Creates Avant-Garde Designs

Since Tilmann Grawe first launched his fashion collection in 1989, this unconventional design genius has never played it safe, consistently presenting groundbreaking and avant-garde designs. In 1992, he garnered recognition from Spanish fashion maestro Paco Rabanne, leading to a seven-year collaboration that solidified Tilmann’s status as a pioneer in the fashion industry. Over the years, his unparalleled aesthetic has attracted numerous stars and supermodels, including Lara Fabian, Lady Gaga, Debra Shaw, and Paz Vega, who have all donned Tilmann Grawe’s creations at significant events.

The eponymous eyewear brand, overseen by Tilmann Grawe, seamlessly blends influences from both Germany and Paris, while also reflecting his personal affinity for Bauhaus style and futuristic architecture. Each model is available in both optical and sunglasses options. Notably, the DNA5 and DNA6 frames feature a striking quadrilateral-shaped front design that exudes a sense of futurism. The semi-transparent blue frame of the DNA5, paired with a keyhole bridge, evokes a captivating sci-fi allure, while the DNA6’s quadrilateral shape takes on a new twist with its unique bridge lines, embodying strong individuality. This design excellence has earned the DNA6 a spot as a finalist in the optical eyewear category at this year’s Silmo d’Or, a testament to its undeniable creative prowess.

The design of DNA9 also should not be overlooked. Its bold and flamboyant outline, ingeniously paired with uniquely colored plates, complements the overall aesthetic, creating a striking visual effect that exudes avant-garde and modern flair.
