–SPECIAL– “TOM FORD” 2000’s-2010’s Cyrille aviator sunglasses

Nose pad repair in progress

From TOM FORD, which has consistently pursued modern luxury through sensuality and structure, we introduce a special piece that embodies the initial impulse of the brand, rich in its early spirit.

A masterpiece that reimagines the classic aviator with a glossy and intelligent modern form.

First and foremost, the impressive feature is the front design based on the teardrop shape, which goes beyond mere ruggedness derived from military origins. Connecting the dark brown acetate rim with a gold-colored metal bridge and top bar creates a contour with a soft depth and a refined tension in the frame. Compared to typical full-metal aviators, it is less tense and not as heavy as a full plastic frame, offering a perfect balance that naturally adds shadows and sophistication around the face.

The beauty of this piece is primarily reflected in how the lenses appear. The soft thickness of the acetate surrounds the lenses, supported by ultra-fine metal parts around the edges, creating a coexistence of the classic eyewear's warmth and the sharpness needed for modern products. From the front, the teardrop shape exudes gentle allure, and from an angle, the metal lines flowing from the bridge to the temples add an intellectual tension, making the impression change significantly depending on the viewing angle.

The design around the bridge is also carefully crafted. Besides the central bridge, a top bar adds strength to the structure, not just softness. This detail maintains the iconic look of classic aviators while adding an architectural impression, leading to a glamorous and refined mood typical of TOM FORD. The way the nose pads are attached and the distance from the rims are light and comfortable, reducing face pressure while maintaining a three-dimensional structure, reflecting thoughtful practicality and aesthetic design.

Moving to the temples, they are processed with very sleek lines compared to the substantial front, which greatly enhances the overall finish. The slim gold-colored metal adds lightness to the profile, and the brown resin material on the earpieces creates a warm impression when worn, avoiding a purely metallic hardness. Additionally, the small brand logo plate embedded on the outer tip subtly signals luxury without being too assertive, only noticeable upon close inspection.

The appearance of the lens color is also very important. Despite being dark, it does not turn completely black and retains a slight transparency, creating depth without overly hiding the face. This results in a non-intimidating impression when worn, instead conveying a quiet mystery and mature confidence. The TOM FORD logo subtly etched on the upper part of the left lens also adds a refined signature to the finished product without excessive decoration, maintaining a very elegant look.

The most credible period for this piece is around 2008 to 2012, as the printed information and historical context align clearly. The inside of the left temple shows "Cyrille TF109 28F 63□10 135," and the inside of the right temple shows "135 TOM FORD MADE IN ITALY CE," indicating the specific model TF109, which gained recognition from early to mid-early in the brand's history. Additionally, since TOM FORD as a brand has existed since 2005, the presence of "CE" markings rules out earlier periods, and the different printing format and case appearance compared to current models suggest this piece is from the late 2000s to early 2010s, when the brand's initial passion was still strongly present.

What makes this model particularly special is not only that it is an early TOM FORD but also that it is a defining piece of the brand's masculine image. The classic aviator originally carries a military-inspired functional beauty, but TOM FORD introduces a luxurious material feel and urban tension, transforming its ruggedness into sophistication. In other words, this Cyrille, borrowing from a historic style, has been reimagined as a tool to speak of masculinity not through force but through allure and intelligence. It can be regarded as more than just sunglasses; it is a product that condenses the brand's philosophy.

Furthermore, the era of the late 2000s significantly supports the value of this piece. At that time, luxury was not fully minimalist but retained a unique charm of glossiness and precision. This piece preserves that atmosphere very well. Including the velour-like hard case, the entire product exudes a somewhat sensual yet balanced feel, not excessive, which brings the joy of owning a piece that reflects the mood of the era. Seen as a part of the MOOD's special collection, this item transcends mere eyewear and embodies the aesthetic of Millennium Luxury as a cultural piece.

Especially recommended for those who want to add depth to their impression around the face rather than decoration, or who want to elevate the completeness of a simple outfit. When integrated into daily life, it doesn't look overly fashionable, yet it clearly conveys a refined aesthetic. When matched with a jacket or coat, it creates an urban shadow around the contours, and even with light outfits like cut-and-sew or shirts, it reliably sets the mood around the face. We believe that such an individual, where contemporary trends, design, and persuasive wearability are connected at a high level, is a special piece worth keeping for a long time.

In terms of styling, pairing it with a neat tailored jacket or a relaxed shirt naturally brings out the intelligent and sensual atmosphere of this model. When combined with a minimalistic blouson or high-quality cut-and-sew, it subtly incorporates TOM FORD's urban allure into everyday wear.

Take this opportunity.
