The final result of the joint work was the unique Vinylize collection, created using only vinyl and cellulose acetate. Since then, another line, Cinematique has been established, which has old film frames hidden in its stainless-steel eyeglass temples. Their newest AC/DC collection is made from the band’s Back in Black album and Tipton also has a colorful NVSBLE collection made from vinyl.
