Thierry Lasry
Thierry Lasry is a French designer born in Paris. He launched his eponymous eyewear brand late 2006. Raised in a highly creative environment by a father who was an Optician and a mother who was a designer, he has elevated the status of sunglasses and managed to redesign them into a fashion accessory that is as essential as a nice clutch or a pair of stilettos. As a VISIONARY, Thierry felt that craftsmanship and the renowned PARISIAN style mixed with groundbreaking designs would win over any women or man in search of honoring their strong self-identity. This idea is revolutionary in a fashion world obsessed with branding.
80s culture
Thierry Lasry is a product of the 80s culture, who blossomed with the joys of Playmobil, Lego and Japanese cartoons. Astroboy and Cobra were broadcasted religiously during that particular period on French television. In fact, this is how Thierry developed a passion for COLORS AND GEOMETRIC SHAPES during his childhood. He became quickly fascinated by the aesthetic of the exuberant and inspirational fashion shows of Claude Montana or Thierry Mugler which were electrifying the fashion scene of those days. Blessed with this background, He perceived sunglasses as the supreme accessory that unites together the universe of fashion, beauty and architecture. Entirely hand made with the best craftsmanship techniques and traditional know-how, the frames only use acetate from the reputable Italian manufacturer Mazzucchelli. The way each piece is imagined and assembled is directly inspired by the LEGOS in which Thierry grew up playing with. The flat fronts give RETRO-INSPIRED SHAPES - a FUTURISTIC TWIST. Most of the frames feature layered extra blocks of acetate on the back of the fronts using a process more akin to sculpture than to regular cutting techniques.
