Albert I’mStein introduces Madam Butterfly eyewear series inspired by Korean art

Albert I’mStein has introduced Madam Butterfly, a new eyewear series reflecting founder Diego Kim’s fusion of East Asian and European aesthetics. Inspired by the painting ‘Flowers & Butterflies’ by artist Gye-woo, the collection emphasizes the Korean artistic principle of restraint, where every detail serves a purpose while leaving space for surrounding elements. The series comprises two models: the optical frame named Madam and its sunglass counterpart, Butterfly. Both designs reinterpret a timeless silhouette through the brand’s distinctive language, capturing the spirit of the classical artwork rather than reproducing it directly. This launch continues Albert I’mStein’s history of culturally hybrid collections, such as Seoul and Hakone, which similarly blend traditional Eastern motifs with contemporary European sensibilities.
