T
he right pair of shades can
make anyone feel like a
celebrity. There is a
transformation that occurs
that can’t quite be explained,
as a stylish pair of specs glide up
your nose and the whites of your
eyes slowly disappear behind the
lenses. When it comes to luxury
eyewear, Christian Roth transformed
how the world looks at optical
fashion, both inside and out. It’s
been 30 years and Christian Roth is
still adored by celebrities and those
who want to feel like a star. In 1984,
Eric Domège and Christian Roth
founded Christian Roth eyewear. The
company is independently owned and
operates from the design duo’s
studio in Miami Beach, Florida.
Co-founder, Eric Domège, tells me,
“It all started when celebrity culture
was much different. It was not about
endorsement or gifting. The
celebrities with or without their
stylists actually chose their own
accessories. And when they found
the right pair of sunnies, they just
were happy to wear them! We are
very privileged, style makers of
yesterday, today and tomorrow
still have the same attitude with
our collection.”
