Marcolin Group held a cocktail event to mark the launch of its new Emilio Pucci eyewear collection after signing a licensing deal for the brand last year (News 10.06.14).
The women’s collection, including sunglasses and optical frames, featured brightly coloured designs with flower shaped prints. Model names included Butterfly, Zadig, Flower Power, Vivara and Peonia.
Marcolin CEO Giovanni Zoppas said: ‘We are very pleased and honoured to start our collaboration with Emilio Pucci today. It’s a brand with a very unique position in the consumers’ mindset due to its extraordinary heritage, iconic and with a great and long-standing tradition.
‘In common we have high affinity for the product’s design and for the brand codes and values, that’s the reason why including Emilio Pucci in our brands’ portfolio will definitely provide additional quality to the women’s universe that we address.’
The fall-winter 2015/16 collection will be distributed worldwide from March 2015.
