Mija x KALEOS: the personification of beauty, minimalism, and elegance. The German creative director based in Paris, Mirjam Flatau, partners with KALEOS for a collaborative sunglass capsule collection that features the perfect alignment between the brand and Mirjam’s aesthetics.
One frame comes in five different unique colors, made to elevate any kind of look. Polarized sunglasses built with specialized craftsmanship and expertise.
To celebrate this collaboration, we interviewed Mirjam about her view on the collection, inspiration, her styling tips and what empowers her.
Why KALEOS?
A brand who focuses on quality and craftmanship designed in Europe is my dream design collaboration partner so it was easy to say yes when they asked me if I want to join the creative team to create some magic and something that is truly me, truly Mija.
How do you plan to style the frames?
I am thinking about an all black outfit and adding the crisp white shades as a contrast. I see the marble styles with a minimal jumpsuit so the sunglasses are an eyecatcher.
What was your inspiration behind the design of the frames and the materials chosen?
I love raw and minimalistic materials with a clean, subtle and natural appearance so I decided to go for all natural colors and added a marble look to have something with a twist.
How would you describe your style, and what’s your ultimate styling tip?
I think my style mantra would be ‚minimal with a twist‘. I mostly wear classic and minimal designs but always high quality pieces that last a long time. I love to shop vintage designer clothes because you always find unique treasures no one else has. My ultimate styling tip would be keep it simple but significant :)
What empowers you most? Open minded, kind, creative and smart people are pure inspiration and empower me to do better every day.
Thank you Mirjam! It was a pleasure :) K.
