Pascal Jaulent Video Interview
This year at Vision Expo East in New York I had an opportunity to interview Pascal Jaulent. Pascal is the Art Director at Face A Face Eyewear, and is a very influential person in the eyewear industry. He and his business partner Nadine Roth founded Face A Face 20 years ago, and he has been designing the collection for the past twelve years. I asked him where his inspiration comes from and how he has continued to design such unique and beautiful frames year after year. In the video he shows several examples of his primary focus lately which has been in developing the sunglass collection. He spoke about the Masaii frame which was inspired by African masks. He also explained where the unique shape for the sunglass Pomme came from. He calls it original sin, and explained that it is symbolic of Eve taking a bite of the apple. I hope you enjoy my short discussion with Pascal, and please feel free to leave a comment below if you have any thoughts on how I could have made this video better.
