Hi guys,
I commented last week on the new trends that we had seen at the Milan trade show a couple of weeks ago. I found this website that shows that the celeb's are fully embracing this new look. Check it out.

Hi guys. Just finished the Milan trade show. This years show seemed quieter than previous years, but still proved to be very rewarding. This was my 6th show and it was Carla's first. We bought some nice frames, but more importantly, we have made contact with around 4 or 5, European brands, that currently do not sell in the UK. We are looking to take these brands on, and believe me, they will knock your socks off!! We will know more in the coming week's, so stay tuned.
The biggest trend that was on show this year is the Retro look. Every major brand now carries a line of vintage looking acetate frames. Remember old NHS glasses, well they are coming back in a big way. When you were young you hated them, now you will be deperate for a pair. Both male and female ranges, and they look great on everyone. I will include some images next week.
Below, is a photo taken from 2 floors up. This is half of 1 hall, and there were 7 halls in total, so you can imagine just how large Mido is. I'll include some more images and video that I took next week when i get home, but for now, I'm off to enjoy a nice glass of vino bianco, i've earned it.
Ciao
