Loved by Madonna and Gaga
This marks Thierry Lasry's first collaboration with a luxury brand. He launched his eponymous sunglass line in 2006.
With a concept of "futuristic vintage," his designs are realized through vintage inspiration and a modern, avant-garde touch. He has created a distinctive style without relying on prominent logos. The items, entirely handcrafted in French workshops, have garnered acclaim and are now available at select boutiques worldwide, including Colette in Paris, Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys in New York, and Dover Street Market in London. They are also favored by fashion-conscious celebrities such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna.
Pietro Beccari, Chairman and CEO of Fendi, commented: "Thierry Lasry and we share common values of savoir-faire, innovation, tradition, and experimentation. These are at the core of Fendi's DNA. I am confident that this collaboration will bring further energy and vibration to Fendi."
Luisa Delgado, CEO of Safilo Group, added: "We are excited to leverage our long-standing savoir-faire and innovative manufacturing expertise in eyewear for this partnership, and to create trends."
