由奧地利藝術家Udo Proksch於1961年創立的品牌Serge Kirchhofer 幾乎可以說是七零年代的縮影，通透的色彩，誇張卻精練的線條，看似懷舊卻又包裹著未來主義的迷幻氛圍都是讓人為之著迷的原因。
眼鏡、珠寶、絲巾是Udo Proksch揮灑無窮想像力的畫布，希望將這些日常物件轉化為可以穿戴的藝術品，讓個人風格一詞不再只是空談表述，Udo Proksch獨一無二的視野並不因時間更迭而褪了色，若費點心思尋覓，還有可能在拍賣網站上找到動輒五六百美金的古董Serge Kirchhofer鏡框。
在因緣際會下得知Serge Kirchhofer的重啟計畫時，我們興奮地不可置信，品牌費盡心思，終於和維也納完整保存Udo Prokcsch近五十年創作生涯所有檔案資料的Westlicht博物館達成共識，取得包括一千多支眼鏡樣品以及六千多張手稿等珍貴館藏， 除了改良材質與比重提升舒適度之外，全新的Serge Kirchhofer系列將以此為依據，分毫不差地重現Udo Proksch的原創設計。
“眼鏡作為一個時尚配件，應該為女性形塑一股神秘的氣息，帶領她們逃離從眾行為。"
不想成為另一個複製樣板，只臣服於最真實的自我，Udo Proksh直率卻精闢的表述即便跨越了時間的量度，仍讓我們倍感受用，也為Serge Kirchhhofer的品牌定位提點了最貼切的註解。
