Emmanuelle Khanh

An icon of French fashion from the 1960s to the 1980s, Emmanuelle Khanh was much more than an eyewear designer: she was one of the first to break the codes of haute couture , injecting a new, joyful and resolutely feminine freedom into ready-to-wear. A former model at Balenciaga, she left the catwalks to design a fashion designed for active, modern, emancipated women - those who claim the right to comfort without sacrificing style.

By collaborating with artists, stylists and architects, she imposes a radically innovative vision , combining functionality, strong design and graphic identity. Her oversized glasses become emblematic: objects of character, designed as accessories in their own right, just like a bag or a pair of heels.

Made in France with great attention to detail and materials, Emmanuelle Khanh's frames from the 70s and 80s blend couture spirit, pop influences, chic sportswear spirit and architectural lines . They capture the essence of an era when fashion was finally beginning to speak to women, and no longer just about women.

At Lunetx, we source and select its iconic models for their formal power, their manufacturing quality and their intact modernity . Wearing a pair of vintage Emmanuelle Khanh glasses is wearing a silent manifesto: bold, elegant, free.
