L.G.R’s Tommaso Sanfelice got to see the first ever Indian Grand Prix this weekend which took place in the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. Our Tangeri with yellow photochromatic gradient driving lenses were a big hit with the Ferrari team, as you can see in one of the images above. Check out our Speed Racer blog post that we did last year to get more information about these special lenses.

Yesterday the fantastic Vogue.it crew came to the L.G.R factory to do a video interview about Luca and the origins of L.G.R. The first part was filmed within the walls of where all of the magic happens, the Factory. While the other half was filmed in a park nearby. We’ll keep you up to date when the video comes out on the Stars section of Vogue.it. Thank you Mila Serena for a great interview!

Another year has gone by and we are getting ready for next week’s Silmo opitcal fair in Paris.

This season we have created another solid and inimitable line. Not your everyday common accessory, but something that becomes an object of affection throughout time.

Taking a step further, we will introduce a collection that is made up of new, unparalleled designs, materials and colors.

We have also been working with our specialized technicians and have created a high definition polarized lens that will be an exclusive and permanent addition to our collection.

Finally, another Limited Edition will be coming out !

Hope to see you at Silmo next week!

This “Roman Holiday” inspired image was shot by the ever so creative photographer and textile artist Zazie, in participation with an International Exhibition on Cinematographic Art during the Venice Film Festival. The  man on the vespa is wearing our “October” model in black, displaying Italian style to the maximum.

Its time to leave the office, put on your favorite L.G.R shades, and follow the sun to enjoy the last of the season’s blazing days!

We love Eva Herzigova and Eva Herzigova loves L.G.R (check out the last post we did on her). So we wanted to share with you the picture that she just sent us while in Portofino wearing her new Asmara shades in brown!

If Marilyn was around today then we could surely imagine her strolling through the sandy west coast beaches wearing our Emma shades. Capturing the glamorous era which Monroe symbolized, this youthful design is playful and elegant.
