INSPIRATION
A storyteller always starts at the beginning. Model 1 is chapter one, the foundation. Francesco’s inspiration for the frame started with a passion for the elegance of old Hollywood and the iconic looks of Marcello Mastroianni, James Dean, Sean Connery and Cary Grant. Purposefully designed by Francesco to honor this era, this frame conveys classic style with a modern take that culminates in simplicity and elegance, but infused with today’s technical proficiency. Model 1 is a handmade collector’s piece, a one-of-a-kind return to a definitive fashion epoch.
