Modehistoria
Founded in 2003 by Moritz Krueger, Philipp Haffmans, Harald Gottschling, and Daniel Haffmans, Mykita originated in a former daycare center, or 'Kita.' The brand introduced a patented assembly process using flat sheet metal, eliminating traditional soldered joints. Its cultural significance stems from integrating high-tech manufacturing with traditional hand-assembly. Mykita influenced fashion history by pioneering 3D-printed eyewear frames and establishing high-profile collaborations with designers like Maison Margiela and Bernhard Willhelm.
