We like a bit of a Friday gossip, rounding up who was where, doing what, wearing what. Last night in New York City, Alain Mikli and Alexandre Vauthier joined forces to celebrate the launch of their collaboration eyewear collection. As one would expect, it was star filled, all wearing those shiny new specs. Because nothing screams celebrity like shades indoors at a penthouse party on a Thursday night. And so all our favourite supermodel laydays were there, Joan Smalls, Lily Aldridge, Devon Windsor. A whole lot of hotness in those mini Vauthier dresses and ’80s style sunglasses. Speaking of, the inspo for the collection, if you were wondering, was Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin and Parisian women. Success is bound to come from that bubbling cauldron of greatness.“Working with Alexandre on this unique collection of eyewear has been effortless and fun,” said creative director of Alain Mikli, Giampiero Tagliaferri. “Both brands are quintessential Parisian and share the same values and aesthetic. We combined Mikli’s distinctive and provocative approach to design with Vauthier’s powerful vision of a sexy yet sophisticated woman. The fierce styling of both brands exudes strength, power and femininity making this collaboration a perfect fit.” Sexy, sophisticated and fierce. Guess the sunglasses will suit us perfectly. The collection is available now at Barneys and Alain Mikli boutiques.
