The favorite fashion designer of my youth and the most talked-about eyewear designer whom I respect deeply, seem to have found each other. At the SILMO in Paris, Alain Mikli presents the first results of his cooperation with Jean Paul Gaultier. Two inspired designers, rebellious, recalcitrant and always news-worthy. Such a cooperation should result at least in collector’s items. Time will learn whether this will become a commercial interesting experiment but at least every self-respecting optician should show this collection in his store. For me, this is one of the highlights of SILMO 2011 and certainly something to pay attention to in BRILLANT magazine Spring 2012. Don’t miss it when you are in Paris!
