‘Cognac expresses avant-garde and boldness’ says Julien Couture, co-founder and creative director of the emerging label Lunetterie Générale from Canada. The frame, pictured above in Tortoise with a gold clip and mustard lenses, is an example of the quality focus in the collection which is produced in Fukui, Japan, well-known as a centre of traditional expertise and precision in eyewear production. Each frame undergoes 48 stages of manufacture from start to finish, coordinated by several specialist craftsmen.
“During a recent trip to Japan, I was with renowned fashion photographer Shayne Laverdière (www.shaynelaverdiere.com),” says Couture. “He took a series of pretty cool pictures of the factories and locals wearing our LG frames in Tokyo creating a visual reportage of our first experiences in Japan.” For further details about the Canadian brand: https://www.eyestylist.com/2017/04/glori-us-x-lunetterie-generale/ www.lunetteriegenerale.com CN
