Cutler and Gross 1394 Aviator Optical
Precision, Understated
Inspired by Cutler and Gross frames from the 1970s, the oversized aviator silhouette carries that exact era’s energy — glamorous, excessive, slightly reckless — but cleaned up just enough to feel dangerous again instead of nostalgic.
The polished acetate gives the frame depth and density, making the bold proportions feel intentional rather than loud. It sits heavily on the face in the best possible way, like it was designed for people who enjoy taking up space without asking permission first.
The Compass Star pins add a subtle point of tension to the front — not decorative, more like a signature left behind at the scene. Small detail, strong attitude.
What makes the 1394 work is that it never feels retro-costume. It feels lived-in. Like the frame has already seen dim hotel bars, long flights, expensive mistakes, and people becoming obsessed with the wrong person.
Restraint, proportion, and craftsmanship define the result. The silhouette is clean and controlled, offering a refined structure suited to both professional and everyday settings.
The result is measured, functional, and enduring — a frame built on clarity of form and integrity of construction.
CUTLER AND GROSS — precision, carried forward.

Size and Fit
I understand the importance of a proper fitting frame. Not every frame fits every face, which is why we have a wide selection of frame sizes to choose from.
There are no rules – just guidelines we suggest to help you find frames that not only look great but fit perfectly.
HOW WE SEE YOU
Size definitely matters. We determine size by the width of your face. We offer multiple sizes so that you can find the right frame for your face.
If you already wear glasses, we recommend looking at your current pair as a size reference. If you still have doubt we are here to help you with professional advice.
BRIDGE – INTERNATIONAL OR ALTERNATIVE/ASIAN FITTING
Acetate nose pads: Made from Italian or Japanese acetate. Comfortable, classic fit. Recommended for those who prefer the look of acetate.
Metal nose pads: Made from silicone or ceramic. Soft, flexible, anti-allergic. Recommended for those needing additional support for less prominent nose bridges or more prominent cheekbones.
FIND YOUR FACE SHAPE
Oval
Balanced and slightly narrow, the oval face is a canvas for experimentation. Almost any silhouette will look good on you. Luxury lies in the choice.
Heart
Wide forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow jawline. This shape is expressive and romantic. Choose a sharp-edged or gently curved cat-eye shape or a balanced aviator shape that softens the contrast and emphasizes the proportions.
Square
A strong jawline, higher forehead, and symmetrical brow line characterize this sculptural face. Choose rounded or elliptical frames to soften the angularity and enhance natural strength with graceful restraint.
Rectangle
Long and slender, with delicate lines. Here, it is worth choosing frames that give width and dimension to create harmony. Oversized or deep-set profiles bring visual balance to the more elongated shape.
Triangle
Defined by a more pronounced jawline, a finer forehead, and an elegant contrast between cheekbones. Choose round or square frames with sharp lines that harmoniously balance the proportions.
Round
A full face and delicate contours radiate warmth and symmetry. In contrast, square frames elongate and define the face.
There are no rules – just guidelines. Explore, get inspired and choose frames that make you feel confident, happy and most importantly, yourself.
