Inspired by that legendary scene from 1953’s “How To Marry A Millionaire,” where Marilyn Monroe makes very clear to all that men definitely will make passes at girls that wear glasses, Akoni’s new Venus frame channels that Hollywood icon’s incomparable mix of bright pop effervescence and singular sensuality into an exciting new twist on the classic cat-eye. Japanese artisans have given perfect curves to the silhouette, via expertly carved sculptural acetate — and a mid-century pop-art aesthetic is evident, with boldly colored enamel outlines and repeating dot-matrix patterns pressed into custom titanium rims.

Steven W. ★★★★★

The frames have that classic Marilyn-inspired silhouette that somehow feels both glamorous and wearable for everyday. The acetate is hefty enough to feel premium, yet the fit is surprisingly comfortable for all-day wear.

Penelope U. ★★★★★

The vintage cat-eye shape is surprisingly flattering and the gold temples add just the right touch of glamour. They feel solid without being heavy on my face, which was a pleasant surprise. I’ve gotten compliments every time I’ve worn them.

Robert X. ★★★★★

I was a bit worried the frame would be too heavy, but the sculpted acetate is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. The cat-eye shape is pure vintage Hollywood, and I’ve already gotten three compliments from strangers. It feels like wearing a little piece of film history.
