The famed Italian eyewear company, Persol has rested on the noses of celebrities, fictional and otherwise including George Clooney, the Terminator, Steve Mcqueen and most recently, Bond. James Bond. I fell in love with the signature silver arrow during my first viewing of La Dolce Vita and have owned one since. (FTR wearing it will not inch you within the vicinity of Mastroianni cool.)

I fell in love with the signature silver arrow during my first viewing of La Dolce Vita and have owned one since. (FTR wearing it will not inch you within the vicinity of Mastroianni cool.)
The spiffy webface of the Persol project Post-meander, time for the point: Luxury and art have been in a close can-can for the farthest throwback now. In keeping with tradition, the company has presented a project titled A Work of Persol within which 9 contemporary artists of varied artistic disciplines from around the globe have presented a work each. The project is an ode to the deeply personal process of artistic creation and the creative journey that is privy to a chosen few - rarely the audience in the gallery. The line-up includes a clutch of talent: the Brazilian Fefe Talavera (massive-format street-art), the German Tjorg Douglas Beer (installations which can sometimes pack a wham), Chinese photographer Danwen Xing and the collagist Francesca Gabbiani (incredibly meticulous process and richly detailed work).
What makes this project of interest is that the popular Indian contemporary duo, Thukral + Tagra are part of the line-up. To learn more about this project and hear the DoubleT talk about their observations, inspirations, practice and personal connect to their subjects, visit the project website at http://www.persol.com/aworkofpersol/
Trivia: Persol means 'For the Sun' in Italian'
