20 Years of Bold Designs
Andy Wolf Eyewear celebrates a defining milestone with its 20-year anniversary and the launch of its special collection, Blown Into Bloom. For two decades, the brand has stood for bold design, strong personality, and authentic craftsmanship. Each frame reflects confidence and individuality, making Andy Wolf instantly recognizable in the world of eyewear. Now, this anniversary collection looks ahead while honoring the brand’s creative roots. With a clear vision and a fearless spirit, Andy Wolf continues to shape the future of eyewear.
For two decades, Andy Wolf has defined its design language through assertive shapes and confident color choices. The brand creates eyewear with a strong visual identity that feels bold yet refined. As a result, each frame is instantly recognizable. At the same time, Andy Wolf balances heritage with innovation. Traditional craftsmanship meets modern design thinking in every collection. This clear design philosophy allows the brand to evolve while staying true to its roots, proving that authenticity and progress can exist side by side.
Andy Wolf Reimagines Vintage Design with Modern Craftsmanship
The Blown Into Bloom anniversary collection brings vintage-inspired shapes into the present with a modern and confident execution. Classic silhouettes are reimagined with fresh proportions and unexpected details. One of the most distinctive features is the innovative ring-in-ring concept. Moreover, by bonding and fusing two layers of acetate, Andy Wolf creates a striking shape within a shape effect. This approach adds depth, dimension, and a strong visual presence. As a result, each frame feels expressive, well-balanced, and carefully crafted, reflecting the brand’s high standards and dedication to quality craftsmanship.
The anniversary collection also reflects current eyewear trends through a dynamic mix of materials, shapes, and colors. Thick, impactful acetate frames create a strong presence, while fine metal designs offer a lighter contrast. In addition, retro influences return through oversized oval shapes that feel both nostalgic and modern. In the sunglasses category, Paris stands out as the bold statement piece. With its ultra-oversized silhouette, it moves away from narrow frames and embraces confident self-expression. Color plays a key role throughout the collection. Exclusive triple gradients, including the striking Future Dusk, add depth and emotion, reinforcing Andy Wolf’s fearless approach to design.
Design That Grows with People and Nature
The anniversary campaign brings the Blown Into Bloom concept to life through playful, symbolic balloon flowers that represent growth, creativity, and connection. These sculptural forms may appear digital at first glance, yet they are entirely real, reflecting Andy Wolf’s blend of imagination and authenticity. At the same time, the brand reinforces its values through the Grow With Us initiative. For every pair of glasses sold, one square meter of wildflower meadow is restored and preserved. With production rooted in Austria and France, Andy Wolf continues to support traditional craftsmanship and local expertise. After 20 years, the brand remains committed to responsible design, meaningful relationships, and respect for both people and nature.

Leah Ermann is a South African Fashion Business student whose identity and vision are deeply rooted in the landscapes, cultures, and contradictions of her home country. Growing up in South Africa meant being constantly aware of extremes. These realities shaped her sensitivity to the world around her and challenged her understanding of fashion as something far beyond surface-level beauty. In a place where many people are fortunate simply to own a pair of shoes, Leah learned early on that clothing carries meaning, privilege, and responsibility.
Alongside this awareness grew a profound connection to nature and conservation, spending a lot of time in the bush deepened her understanding of the impact humans have on endangered wildlife and fragile ecosystems. Leah sees fashion as a silent but powerful language, a way to express identity, values, and cultural stories without words.
She is driven by a desire to explore the deeper meanings behind collections, to learn from new cultures, and to use fashion as a platform to amplify South African creativity, resilience, and humanity. Ultimately, her goal is to create work that not only reflects where she comes from whilst learning about other cultures, but also contributes to change, honoring both people and the natural world that shaped her.
