Moncler Gamme Bleu Sunglasses Spring/Summer 2010

Moncler Gamme Bleu Sunglasses Spring/Summer 2010

They came from nowhere and have pretty much stormed the fashion market in recent years. A brand that was exclusively known for their premium down jackets, is step by step entering every category of the luxury market. We especially like their Thom Browne designed Gamme Bleu collection. As part of the collection, Moncler introduces for Spring/Summer 2010 their first sunglasses. The frame slightly reminds us of Moscot, while the leather pieces remind you of the ski heritage and the 3-stripe strap is of course clearly the Thom Browne signature. The sunglasses are now available from Restir.
