Serge Kirchhofer Mod 953 70s vintage sunglasses
Serge Kirchhofer represents the avant-garde spirit of eyewear, created by the controversial designer Udo Proksch, who was also the creative force behind Viennaline and Carrera. Proksch viewed his brand as an extension of himself, famously stating, “Serge Kirchhofer is Udo.” His designs reflect a unique fusion of surrealism and classic elegance, often likened to a blend of Salvador Dalí's imagination and Christian Dior's sophistication.
Known as the "enfant terrible" of the eyewear industry, Udo was both a visionary and a deeply complex individual, infusing every aspect of the brand - from the eyewear itself to the packaging and promotional imagery - with his meticulous attention to detail. Although his personal life was marked by controversy, his creative legacy endures, celebrating an artistic vision that pushed the boundaries of eyewear design and fashion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
