4 “big shorts” were presented that night, and 700 people linked with the world of Cinema attended this event.

Before and after the projection, people visited booths where the 4 short films were getting promoted… and so were Parasite sunglasses ! Parasite eyewear reached great success that night, as guests were curious before viewing TURBO, and directly asked us for Parasite stickers after the projection.

This journey in Hollywood has also been an opportunity to meet the TURBO team mates. We feel that we have so much things to share… Ideas and projects in common will follow ! To be continued…
(Below you can see Jérôme with Jarrett Conaway, TURBO director, who got graduated a few days after the projection)

…And here are some pictures taken from the film. It is kind of an ideal universe for Parasite, as all characters who wear sunglasses in it wear… Parasite of course !

Turbo hero’s name is Hugo, just as Parasite’s boss.

The Turbo main characters fight against each other in a ultra realistic video game. During the movie you can easily guess that Sunglasses allow the fighters to get a higher level of perception in the game.

During the fights, many spectators of the game also wear Parasite sunglasses…

SCIENCE LINE NEW MODELS

SPORTSWEAR NEW MODELS : Fibres in frames

Parasite engraved concentric fibres to make the frame more supple in the flexible parts, and more rigid in the static parts. Function generates patterns!

She regularly tells us her enthusiasm about active holding frames. Well, this means that our current products fit with their original use.

Hugo Martin was thinking about Liv Sansoz, when he decided to create frames dedicated to mountain climbing, in year 2000. Below, the first prototype !
