The Performer - Black
Bold Rectangular Geometry with a Retro Soul
The Performer is defined by its oversized, squared-rectangular silhouette. While it takes inspiration from timeless aviator and navigator shapes, it updates them with Portrait's signature "glitch" elements and architectural depth, making it a "statement piece" that is both lightweight and durable.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Premium Italian Acetate: Handcrafted in Italy from top-quality cellulose acetate, allowing for deep, vibrant pigments and a high-luster finish that feels substantial yet smooth to the touch.
Hybrid Structural Core: Internally, the frame is reinforced with premium stainless steel and titanium inserts. This hidden "skeleton" ensures the wide rectangular front maintains its perfect alignment and structural integrity over years of wear.
Iconic Design Language: The frame features Portrait's most recognizable elements, including unique clean inserts at the temples and softly rounded edges that contrast with its sharp geometric footprint.
Hand-Finished in Italy: Every pair is meticulously hand-polished by skilled artisans, blending traditional Italian bench-work with contemporary design research for a flawless finish.
Fit & Ergonomics
Attention-Grabbing Profile: With a 52mm lens width and a total width of 145mm, The Performer offers a commanding presence. Its rectangular appeal is particularly effective at balancing round and oval face shapes.
Engineered for Comfort: Despite its bold aesthetic, the use of lightweight titanium components prevents the frame from feeling front-heavy, ensuring it stays secure and comfortable during extended periods of wear.
Artistic Versatility: Designed to be "more than just a fashion accessory," the frame is suitable for both bold sunglasses and high-index optical prescriptions, providing a wide and clear field of vision.
