With an emphasis on inspiration from the ocean, this drop reflects the hues of a long isle which is an ultimate resort destination.

Concepts in Reality
This capsule takes us to a luxotic vacation at an isle beach capturing surreal and playful seascapes. The isle& is all about beach brunches and sipping the perfect pina colada while devouring a charcuterie as you soak in the sun exhaling effortless elegance watching euphoric sights.



The maximalist aesthetic brings in the larger-than-life energy to the frozen-in-time scenes for the beach-lovers, also a reminder than unexpected stories are still to be discovered even in the most familiar destinations.






Chunky, statement frames with bold elemental details glorifying aristocratic leisure. A design assemblage that reveals its indulgence in elevated travel experiences, grandeur, and extravagance that is peculiar to exotic Islands. The briny, rejuvenating breeze of the sea along with the crisp salt air sets the mood for the range.



The Design collection features intricate motif details in the form of emblems highlighted by tints of luxe metal. These symbols of luxury draw a picture of olive ridley turtles on a beach, seashells slipping through sand, and gleaming pearls in oysters. Heavy chains in distinctive patterns and textures compliment the pronounced eyewear.

In expressing my thoughts on the collection, I emphasize the role of eyewear as a medium of self-expression and self-discovery, akin to the realm of fashion. This artistic journey celebrates the unconventional, the bold, and the beautiful, with each frame narrating a unique story—an embodiment of creativity and individuality. The visually opulent exploration into eye-fashion as a powerful means of self-expression is a testament to the dedicated effort that brought each frame to life. The collaboration between John Jacobs and Masaba Gupta unfolds as a creative symphony, resonating in meticulously crafted frames adorned with metal engravings, etchings, and textures, chosen with precision to encapsulate the enchanting allure of underwater reflections. Designing every detail of this collection marked a personal journey of maturing as a designer, and realizing that inspiration is infinite—we just need to observe and explore.
