Special Edition DITA x André Opticas

The Re-Make of an Icon.
The Grand Master 2, the second and most successful model in the Grandmaster series by DITA Eyewear, has become the latest piece to be customised by the André Opticas StyleLab.

The GM2 is already a classic in the DITA portfolio and a must-have for any high-end eyewear enthusiast. Celebrities such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Brad Pitt, Usher, Chris Brown, Jermaine Dupri, Snoop Lion, Fabolous, Sean Paul, and many others have showcased their GM2s on numerous occasions.

Handcrafted in Japan using traditional methods, with cotton acetate and titanium metals, DITA collaborated with André Opticas, the “dream store,” to create a limited edition of just 17 pieces worldwide. This exclusive GM2 features a matte tortoiseshell finish, specially developed for the collaboration, and titanium hinges plated with 24K gold—an edition for true connoisseurs who seek not fashion, but timeless style in an ultra-exclusive version.

Available exclusively at André Opticas stores.

Roberto Cavalli Snake-Collection Launch

On November 13th, André Ópticas on Avenida da Liberdade hosted celebrities from the world of television, lifestyle, fashion, and blogging to get an exclusive first look at the new capsule collection from the Italian brand Roberto Cavalli.

The new ICONIC SNAKE COLLECTION is a true tribute to the DNA of the ROBERTO CAVALLI brand: Sensuality and glamour define this new collection, paying homage to the true spirit of the Cavalli imagination, expressed through the iconic serpent.

Sinuously applied to the proposed frames, the Roberto Cavalli emblem characterizes the pieces in this capsule collection, defining their exclusive and refined nature, also determined by the use of pavé sparkling crystals.

The profiles of these frames are animated by sinuous metallic snakes, which wrap around the temples, their silhouettes covered in Swarovski crystals.

All the must-haves in this collection feature the serpent winding along the entire temple.

In addition to enjoying a cocktail to the sounds of DJ Rui Santoro, guests were also able to take photos in a custom photobooth and share the moment on social media.
