Spring/summer 2011, a new collection of sunglasses and spectacles from the Italian lifestyle brand
Trussardi’s new sunglass collection is one of a great long list of brands I hope to get to see at the international optics fair Mido this week (www.mido.com). I’ve not yet had the chance to see this collection up close, but from what I hear, it answers the checklist of special qualities found in the Trussardi fashion collections…craftsmanship, luxury materials, and an ability to interpret retro in a beautiful, contemporary way. The model pictured above (Tru Trussardi TR12805) is a classic shape, with a leather detail laid on the temple. It’s very understated but gives the frame a unique appeal. I would love to be wearing this one as a matter of fact!!
Café Trussardi – I shall also be visiting the Café Trussardi this week for a press event. If you are in the centre of Milan, it’s really a beautiful place to call in; it offers a Milanese café experience of the highest order, and it’s near the La Scala Opera House. Apart from the outstanding location, I am told the coffee and particularly the ‘macchiato’ is one of the best in Milan, quite a feat in a city which has an enticing café near every street corner. CN
