Mercura NYC: Her Majesty Mercura

Mercura NYC is Rachel Cohen-Lunning and Merrilee Licthenstein Cohen, two ladies with long names and a passion for making mad accessories since the mid 1970s. In this new series, photographer Joshua Scott’s slick portraiture teams up with clever styling from Jorge Rubalcava, immortalizing Mercura’s avant-guarde eyewear to devastating effect. Somewhere in between awkward Devo goggles and Kanye West shutter-shades swagger, this is New York future-glam-weirdness at its best.
