In the vibrant landscape of eyewear, Gamine emerged in 2016 from an
unexpected place. What started as a creative experiment in New York evolved into something much more meaningful. 

At the heart of the Gamine narrative lies Sergei Zubkouski, whose journey started at an Art Center in NYC. Surrounded by incredible people who shared a similar outlook on life, his mind opened to different possibilities through underground music and art. Eyewear wasn’t part of the plan - it started as a challenge when a friend dared
him to design some fun sunglasses. Being a total outsider to the industry
became an advantage, allowing him to think beyond traditional rules.

As Gamine grows, it remains true to its roots as a citizen of the world. While
New York is where it all started and remains the soul of the brand, Sergei’s
heart led him to Paris. Ideas come from everywhere - traffic signs in Tokyo,
conversations in Brooklyn, or fleamarket finds in Belleville. This fluid approach to inspiration is reflected in the collection’s names, each piece carrying the spirit of different global neighborhoods.

Today, Gamine stands for well-designed, quality glasses that people can
actually afford. The focus remains on getting the fundamentals - good materials, clean design, and frames that feel authentic. It’s about creating pieces that help people express who they are.
