Tommy and Luca

This picture was taken in Paris during men’s fashion week in 2007.  It was the first time that we presented L.G.R’s collection to the public. Me and Tommaso were at Area, a showroom for independent designers and creators. We got a space and a table set up were we displayed the sunglasses.

Area 2007, The Beginning

I was shy talking to fashion buyers about Africa, my grandfather and about the craft production behind L.G.R sunglasses. But, by the end of the show, we got the compliments of many people and everyone was congratulating Tommaso and me. We counted the many orders, the business cards and the appointments we got; we looked at each other not believing it. It was a success and it was just the beginning!
