Glassing

Glassing was born in 2010 from an idea of Alessandro Forte and Stefano Ottone, two friends grown up in Milan, who decide to start a new adventure in Ibiza.

They quickly emerge for their will to experiment and to create cutting-edge glasses, taking advantage of Italian expertise. They focus on innovative materials often combined in unusual ways, believe in young designers and their courage while trusting the knowledge of the best Italian factories for the production and for the uniqueness of the handmade manufacture.

The brand is currently distributed in more than 1400 selected optical stores in the world and in some luxury boutiques such as Excelsior and LaRinascente in Milan, Galeries LaFayette in Beijing, Twist in Hong Kong, Harrods in London, Mr. M in Beirut. The brand, although young, is rising quickly, is enlarging considerably its distribution network in Europe, Middle East, USA, and Asia. Even many celebrities and fashion icons have been spotted wearing Glassing, such as Bryshere Gray (aka Yazz the greatest, main character of TV series Empire) Kate Moss, Justin Bieber, Beyonce and Jay-Z, P. Diddy, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pamela Anderson, Mischa Barton. In 2014 Glassing become official licensee of A.C. Milan for sunglasses and optical glasses.

After signing an agreement with Adidas, the brand produces and commercializes the collection A.C. Milan designed by Glassing.
Glassing's style is not expressed only by their collections, Alessandro and Stefano's purpose is to spread a way of being, what inspires them from the beginning of this adventure. To have passion and to believe in what you do and above all not to lose the irony of who does not take himself too seriously.
