The launch of Valentino

At the end of February, Valentino and Luxottica celebrated the first collection resulting from the 2016 license agreement at the “Valentino Mirage” event in Palazzo Clerici, Milan. Change of Perspective was the leitmotif of the event, where every guest was involved in a visual experience of continually changing perspectives. Valentino Mirage was created in collaboration with Real Live LLC, whose founders, Jonathan Hochwald and Arthur Karpati, also produced the renowned Sleep No More and created The McKittrick Hotel, New York City. In this eyewear collection, the fashion house’s aesthetics and timeless elegance are fully conveyed in a “metissage” of sensual lines and metals, glamorous crystals and nylon, and the atelier’s signature studs on the temples.
