ROBERT LA ROCHE's collections reflect the bold, independent creative spirit that shaped the brand into an Austrian design icon. After Robert La Roche's retirement in 1999, the label returned in 2014 under a new creative direction, and today the house's collections are shaped by Kamilia Kusz along with collaborators Les Deux H (Harry Bader and Harry H.) and rising Austrian designer Christoph Rumpf, each bringing their own interpretation to the brand's original DNA.
The eyewear incorporates distinctive design elements such as thick, sculptural acetate fronts, custom-made hinges and wire cores, and archival silhouettes revived from the brand's celebrated 80s and 90s era. Every frame is produced with meticulous attention to comfort and durability, whether crafted from Italian acetate or Japanese titanium.
Globally, ROBERT LA ROCHE has long been favoured by cultural icons and celebrities, from Andy Warhol and Yoko Ono to Meryl Streep and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Within the segments of designer sunglasses for men and designer sunglasses for women, ROBERT LA ROCHE offers dramatic oversized shapes, narrow retro-inspired frames, and refined essentials that suit diverse lifestyles.
