Japan November 08

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Rick fractured his elbow, so I got to enjoy the snow in Fukui on my own. I shot some video at the factories which will come later, had some great yakitori, Korean barbecue and of course a few draft Asahis! I saw the new protos for the Spring release- looking great- and was really excited to see the men’s sunglass collection coming to fruition. A shot of the suns and thereafter one from my suite in Tokyo looking at Tokyo tower.

Switzerland Oct 08

I visited some bevel accounts in and around Zurich. I was struck by the high level of the opticians even in small towns and villages. The welcome by the opticians was really wonderful. After a full day of expressos in each shop, I was almost bouncing off the walls! Genau !
