TALLA EYEWEAR, a man, optical and solar collection, designed by Gianluca Gualandi.
In Bologna, everyone calls TALLA. Since 1987, Gianluca Gualandi has been creating and developing two optical stores between 1989 and 2005. In 2000 he opened a small concept store of niche glasses and accessories. It's an opportunity to discover a new world!
In 2004, on the occasion of the Salon de l'Optique in Paris, he met Caroline Abram, the designer of the brand Filao and in 2006 settled out of love in Paris. Since 2008, it has collaborated in the creation and development of the brand Of glasses Caroline Abram, collection dedicated entirely to women.
In September 2016 he presented his project TALLA EYEWEAR, dedicated entirely to Man.
In his collections, he claims discretion in everything. « I imagine the bezel as the ultimate accessory of male elegance ».
Curious art, he loves design and fashion, but his great passion is cooking. « Cooking frees and enriches my imagination, setting up a dish is like creating a small work of art ».
Thanks to his mother, a seamstress in haute couture, he learns the sense of precision and attention to detail. The microfiber cloths to put in the pocket of the jacket and the case with glasses thought like a Tabatière, complete the universe TALLA EYEWEAR.
Arabesco Collection
My love for design and visonary artist Carlo Mollino are the engines of the collection!
This collection was thought of as a drawing with a raised hand in which the colors rhythmize the thicknesses of the frame. Asymmetric lenses are illuminated by cavities visible on the face, the prototype type hinge gives a sense of artisanal manufacture. Freedom, passion, lightness, Edouard leads us through the sand. It reveals in its wake the intensity, virility and elegance of the Talla universe.
