Cutler And Gross CGOP-1306 04 51

The ubiquitous National Health service model 524 acetate frame known for its utilitarian and ordinary qualities, suited Morrisseys counter culture purposes as he chose to wear it more than as an act of rebellion in his new band, The Smiths in 1982. Cutler and Gross has paid tribute to this frame as director Marie Wilkinsons first pair of frames were actually a crystal NHS frame which she customised with nail varnish and glitter. This customisation started her on the path to design. These ordinary properties have been elevated to the extraordinary by the new design details; increasing the eye size to 52mm adding the vintage-inspired oyster pins and the arrowhead temple design last seen on the 1346.
