Happy Birthday Andy Warhol


Today is Andy Warhol's birthday, one of the most influential artists of this century. Although he has passed away his legacy lives on and he is still one of the most well-known and captivating artists of our time.

In the 1960s, Warhol created several "mass-produced" images from photographs
of celebrities such as Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe

Warhol inspired and influenced countless people, including eyewear designers. Anne et Valentin's popular Factory collection is inspired by and named after Warhol's famous factory in NYC.  Original and rich in colour, the collection is created to be easy to wear, even in the case of the shy customer who dares not dare.

The eyewear is polished and then cut on the top and along the temples again to give the frames a raw feel in these areas while the rest is smooth.  Original and rich in colour, the collection is created to be easy to wear, even in the case of the shy customer who dares not dare.
