Opti Munich: State of independence

Berlin-based brand Kreuzbergkinder launches the Suspirium collection, which takes its inspiration from Suspiria, a cult-classic, Italian, witchcraft movie released in 1977 and remade in 2018.

Designer Ioana A Serbanescu aims to reflect otherworldly fairy tales and folklore, a dark style deeply rooted in ‘underground’ Berlin and intrinsic to the Kreuzbergkinder identity. The frames are made of Mazzucchelli M49 bio-acetate, available in rich colours of burgundy, petrol and classic polished black, with options in both optic and sunglasses.

They are said to have striking elements that demand attention. A slot in the shape of a ‘K’ is carved out of the temples so the wearer can accessorise with a chain as a more comfortable, yet stylish, addition.
