Marcolin Celebrates its 50th Anniversary
Fashion industry luminaries turned out in full force to celebrate the Marcolin’s 50th anniversary. Diego and Andrea Della Valle, Dean and Dan Caten, Renzo Rosso, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Neil Barrett were just a few of the notable guests at a fabulous evening enjoyed by all.
Surrounded by contemporary art inaugurated especially for the event, guests were invited to sip champagne and mingle amongst the ‘La Visione oltre lo Sguardo’ exhibition, set in the new Marcolin showroom in Milan at 36 Corso Venizia. A visual multimedia and multi-sensory experience consisting of drawings and paintings, as well as sculptures, videos, and installations by young and internationally acclaimed artists such as Grazia Toderi, Elisa Sighicelli, Marcus Schinwald, Kerstin Braetsch, Matthew Brannon, Tobias Rehberger, Sharon Lockhart, and Atelier Van Lieshout. The group of artists was selected by Tar Magazine – the Milan-based biannual publication with an international outlook, edited by Martina Mondadori and Fracesco Bonami – together with Giò Marconi, one of the biggest names on the Milan contemporary art scene, and Marcolin S.p.A style and licensing officer Maurizio Marcolin.
Many great things have happened since the company’s founding, and over time, through a major commitment to work, unyielding effort, challenges and successes, Marcolin has become a leading player in the global luxury eyewear market, building a reputation as the “Eyewear Atelier” due to its unique products and unwavering attention to quality and aesthetics.
