Historical Note
The 56-0016 is a bold expression of Gaultier’s philosophy: fashion is not just clothing—it’s architecture for the face. During the early 1990s, his eyewear collections stood apart in a saturated market with minimalist frames. These were sculptures, not accessories. The 56-0016 continues that legacy—designed for those who wear attitude, not just sunglasses.
A collector’s item and a wearable statement—this piece is not just eyewear; it's history with hinges.
