In just two seasons, VOA Collective is quickly establishing itself as a brand unafraid to break the mould when it comes to uber-luxury eyewear. Having captured the attention of globally acclaimed artists such as J Balvin and Bad Bunny with its first collection, VOA returns with a second limited drop of avant-garde designs, this time in an expanded selection of colourways and reenergised silhouettes.
About VOA:
With its commitment to crafting designs of such scarcity and innovation as to render them wearable art objects, VOA’s output is fuelled by a singular design philosophy.
Positioning itself on a spectrum bridging the past and future, VOA finds inspiration in the celestial interplay between ancestral astrological wisdom and contemporary astronomical science. This guiding philosophy is reflected in a limited run of designs per drop, each one a unique synthesis of diverse aesthetic traditions, drawn from ancient civilisations and techno-futurism alike.
Alongside its wholly individual design philosophy, VOA’s pieces attest to the brand’s commitment to using only the highest-grade materials. SEASON 02: ORION is manufactured entirely from acetate and titanium, and features 24k gold detailing distinct to each model.
Creative director Blanco De La Osa aims to awaken consumer consciousness with designs influenced by themes of self-discovery and cosmic harmony, and an obsession with finding new means of innovation - his provocative and original collections seek to profoundly rearticulate the status of eyewear in fashion’s collective consciousness.
VOA SEASON 02: ORION:
In its second collection, VOA taps into the timeless interplay between the cosmic mysteries of deep space and the spiritual-architectural wonders of humanity’s distant past. SEASON 02: ORION intricately intertwines the four stars of the Orion constellation with spiritual portals from ancient civilisations: Xian Pyramid in China, Teoatiuhacán Pyramid in Mexico, Giza Pyramids in Egypt, and Easter Island in Chile. Coordinates of these portals discreetly adorn each piece, drawing a subtle connective thread between these two fields of inspiration.
Offered in five inspired colourways that utterly remake each model anew, SEASON 02: ORION stands out as genuinely original with its unparalleled fusion of pigments, materials, textures and forms - and defines its own aesthetic niche with an offering of classically informed yet unmistakably future-focussed silhouettes. VOA crafts each model in ORION as a wearable art object, and conceives of the complete set as a capsule art collection in and of itself:
ALNILAM and ALNITAK exist as two instances of the perfect quadrilateral form and each embody a singular take on the classic cat-eye silhouette, which is dismantled and modernised to guarantee a future-proof look.
MINTAKA is an evolved inversion of ALNILAM, which repositions the familiar slanted ORION front-pieces to create a graduated sharpening of form, resulting in a daring architectural design.
HEKA is arguably the collection’s shining star – named as it is after the blue supergiant of the ORION constellation – with a fundamentally unique articulation of discordant shaped, producing a shocking harmony of form.
