Jacques Marie Mage Dealan Sun (Patti Smith: Mauvais Sang)
An icon of Jacques Marie Mage reimagined by a living icon, handcrafted in a colour story named after a song written by Patti Smith, “Mauvais sang,” which is French for "bad blood" and was used by the poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) to describe a chaotic or restless state. Here, these limited-edition, ‘60s-inspired spectacles are composed of Polished Warm Grey plant-based acetate, complemented by Armorlite lenses in Ruby, with JMM’s signature arrowhead front-pins in Sterling Silver featuring Bloodstone inlays, as well as exposed custom wirecores finely engraved with lyrics from Smith’s song “Land,” and inner temples foil-stamped with the artist’s signature in Silver. Created in partnership with one of the most influential American artists of the modern era, this collaboration celebrates Patti Smith’s 50 years of creativity and the anniversary of her landmark album Horses (1975). “For me, this collaboration has been like writing a song with another person,” says Smith. “Except this time, it’s about our visual and design sense coming together to create something unusual. I hope people will like it.”
