Brand heritage

Edmond 'Ted' Lapidus (1929-2008), son of a Paris tailor, opened his own fashion house in 1951 and became one of the innovators of 1960s-70s fashion, known for bringing safari and military details and unisex tailoring into couture. His house later expanded into accessories such as these French-made sunglasses.
