Agreement signed between Costume National and Cult

The agreement has an initial term of three years and provides for the launch of the first vision and sun eyewear collection as early as January 2008.

'Cult is the ideal partner for Costume National', declared stylist Ennio Capasa. 'It will allow us to continue along our innovation, research and creative route based on extremely high standards of quality. An independent and flexible company, Cult will enable us to design and present unique products and projects that are not part of the purely business-based mass market'.

'The collaboration with Costume National is perfectly in line with out growth strategy and future industrial and distribution investments' said Andrea Casiglieri, Managing Director of Cult. 'The brands share the same philosophy, the same stylistic and quality standards, and they both aim at development based on the best design content and special technical solutions that will provide the eyewear with huge intrinsic value in addition to appeal'.
