PHILOSOPHY:
“As objects, sunglasses have always been interesting to me. I thought if anything would be a challenge, it would be something as organic as sunglasses. And I wanted something classic, not overt or covered in logos,” says Fabien Baron. Modo adds, “Baron worked meticulously to ensure the fit and function of his collection (both lightweight and strong), coordinating and enhancing the understated elegance of the design.”
MARKETING:
Merchandising materials include countercards, logo plaques and look books. Each sunglass comes with a black suede pouch and cleaning cloth in a highly polished black acrylic box.
PRICE POINT:
