Inspiration: It is Milan afterall

Although my trip to Milan was all business, I did get to run around a bit and check out some of the latest fashion. Inspiration can come from anywhere but Milan seems to have a plethora.


Some strange fashion was on hand at the tradeshow. Golf meets English countryside? I don't know but I'm digging his ability to run it.




The Duomo and the streets of Milan at night. What's not to love? The beauty, the lights, the history...love it.

Behind the Lens: Italian Factory

Ever wondered how your sunnies are made? At Dragon, our higher end models are made in Italy. I took a trip out to the factories last week to check on the development progress. It was a whirlwind trip and here are some highlights....


Me and one of our factory experts modeling next season's hottest new lab coats.


Wood chips..who would have known? This is a process called "tumbling" the factory does to each of the frames after they pop out of the mold. 


Painting made easy...


And this is me and one of the factory workers looking like weirdos in the
white lab coats. Super unflattering but really comfortable. Could be the
next generation of the Snuggy
