Blue Note Records Collaboration | Jacques Marie Mage

The BLUE NOTE RECORDS Collection by Jacques Marie Mage is a special series of collectible, limited-edition eyewear conceived as a celebration of one of the most prolific and influential jazz labels in the history of modern music. Releasing over 1,000 albums during its 80-year lifetime, the label is well-respected for its role in the development of various styles of bop and avant-garde jazz, as well as for its iconic, modernist art direction. This unique collaboration is a homage to the creative legacies of such jazz giants as Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, and so many other important artists who at one time or another called Blue Note home.

The HERBIE are limited edition glasses that will bring fresh life to the original frames worn by the Jazz artist, carefully designed to reflect the essence of the style while skillfully reinterpreting it through a modern lens.

Jacques Marie Mage x George Cortina Dealan

LIMITED PRODUCTION BATCH OF 250 PIECES
George Cortina, an editor and stylist at large who is fully engrossed in fashion, has teamed up with Jerome Mage for the latest collaboration with Jacques Marie Mage. If you've flipped through GQ's recent editorials with Daniel Craig, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, you will notice Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses sprinkled in.
This latest collaboration with both Cortina and Mage is fresh look of the iconic DEALAN. Cortina and Mage they took the “Dealan,” which is modeled after the famous pair of glasses the singer-songwriter toured with in the mid-60s, and stripped it down to its essence, creating a pure black frame (no lamination) that includes as few details as possible—not even the signature arrowhead hardware that has embellished the style since JMM first produced it in 2015.
Wink Optics is happy to announce that we have procured #5/250 and #33/250 of this collaboration. We can fill them with your customized prescription.
