When was the last time you wore a frame that reflected more than just your mood? The new KIO YAMATO KP‑280U is not your typical cat‑eye sunglass. It’s a piece of art that plays with light, an acetate and metal sculpture that shimmers from warm amber to forest green to midnight blue as your surroundings change.

Few accessories can carry a conversation before you’ve even said a word. The KP‑281U Color 05 from Kio Yamato does exactly that. Its cat‑eye silhouette offers modern femininity with an edge, while the acetate gradient — a deep midnight blue fading into a delicate blush — reads like a miniature horizon. This editorial unpacks why this frame belongs on your nose and in your wardrobe all year round.

KIO YAMATO’s The New Suit line has always blended Japanese precision with quiet luxury, and the KT‑571U takes that philosophy to a new level. Built from ultra‑lightweight titanium and finished with subtle architectural detailing, this modern rectangle frame offers the strength of metal with the comfort of acetate. Below, we’ll explore why this model stands out and how it fits into the most important eyewear trends for 2025.
