Marni eyewear in opticians' stores

The Marni eyewear produced by Allison is about to arrive in opticians' stores after being launched in the Milan brand's flagships last year. This is what the company's chief executive, Saverio Vecellio Reane, told Milano Finanza Fashion.

'At the present time we are selecting outlets, by the end of 2004 we will be in 500 opticians' throughout the world', Reane said. If this move works, the current production agreement between Allison and Marni could develop into a license.
