2011 MIDO Show @ Italy
Mido, the first and largest eyewear show in the world held annually in Milan has come to an end! Although my trip there was short, it was very rewarding.
It was my great privilege to meet face-to-face with the Salt Optics designer, David Rose, who impressed me very much with his friendly and courteous manner. It is always a pleasure to get to schmooze with the supporting team of my current suppliers; Lindberg, Barton Perriera, Mykita, Woodlook, Evolution Arts, Iyoko Inyake, Linkskin and Tom Ford among others. My goal was to have the first opportunity to view their latest styles before they launch and arrive at my store!
I have picked out a few lines that are very unique and innovative! You have to appreciate the tremendous passion these designers have for their meticulously crafted eyewear. Stay tuned for their arrival!
