Maison Lafont gives the floor to its partners with the new series, THE INTERVIEW! What is your background? The shop where I work has been running since my grandfather's generation. Tell us about your profession… I perform customer service, purchase frames, take pictures for our Instagram page and write for our blog. I'm happy when I hear customers tell me they like their glasses, both practically and aesthetically, that I prepared for them. I enjoy buying frames for our shop when I come across a pair of glasses that stimulate my imagination. Tell us about your business and how it has evolved? When a child who used to wear children’s frames from our shop comes in years later to buy new glasses because he is going to start a job, or with an elderly customer, How is Lafont a brand that meets the expectations of the moment? I'm always hoping to find something unexpected - an enthralling combination of colors and patterns. What is your first Lafont memory? The first Lafont I bought was CHABLIS, and it was the first pair of glasses I lost! I loved them so much, but when I suddenly found out I couldn't find them anywhere, in the end, What does the brand represent? The simplicity of lines, the elegance of form and a stylish variety of colors to complement this. I think Lafont is also unique in that it draws on its wealth of knowledge and history to bring out ideas relevant to the times, while interpreting them in a new way. Your favorite Lafont frame? MAJESTE. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the scene from Wild at Heart, where Nicolas Cage sings Love Me Tender on the roof of a car. It’s a scene filled with humor, twisted beauty and many other sentiments. The complex beauty of MAJESTE is like this scene, with all sorts of emotions bound together with a clever idea. Is eyewear only a fashion accessory? Ever since I started using progressive lenses, the world has been a blur without glasses, while fine print hurts my eyes and reading is torture. On the one hand, eyeglasses are a practical device compensating for my declining physical condition. Still, at the same time, they open the door to various memories and sentiments through their inspiring design. It is a luxury to carry something that is both practical and a great work of art on your nose every day. So even if the glasses are a little too heavy, leaving their indent on my nose after taking them off at the end of the day, I am happy. DISCOVER THE INTERVIEW WWW.LAFONT.COMfollow us:
