We are excited to announce the re-release of the "Hutchence Originals," a replica of the iconic design first created by Paul Taylor in 1993.

Originally known as the "M46 & M47," this design was famously selected by Michael Hutchence during a visit to the Paul Taylor showroom in Paddington, Sydney. While the designer has modified the frames over the decades to remain contemporary, we have now come full circle to offer the authentic design that Michael Hutchence actually wore.

"I designed these for my brand when Michael Hutchence of INXS came into the showroom and purchased them," says Paul Taylor. "The Hutchence Originals design is the exact one that Michael wore. The Michael and the Hutchence designs were subsequently added to the collection to provide different size alternatives."

As a lifelong fan who witnessed the legendary 1991 Live Baby Live concert at Wembley Stadium, Paul is proud to bring this piece of music and fashion history back to the collection.
