“For this collaboration I wanted to create a very distinctive selection of eyewear that felt like a natural extension of my collection and also which complements the confident personalities of the Alexandre Vauthier woman. The women who wear my collections around the world are both sensual and powerful and this collaboration with Alain Mikli was made for these bold and inspiring women. Giampiero understood this perfectly and together we chose these styles that took distinctive details of my couture collection and interpreted them into these varying styles.”
