Ralph Vaessen (born in Heerlen, The Netherlands on August 28, 1966) is a Dutch
designer.

He studied Public Administration and worked for the Dutch government for over
15 years.

Ralph Vaessen started to design eyewear early 2006. He was looking for new
frames for eyeglasses for himself, but he couldn’t find what he was looking for. An
optician told him that he knew a small atelier that could produce a single set of
frames if Ralph Vaessen could make a drawing of the shape he wanted.

Ralph Vaessen, who was already looking for a career change, saw an
opportunity. “Why produce only one private set of frames? Why not produce a
complete collection?” He decided to quit his job and to start a career as a
designer of premium, exclusive and luxurious handcrafted natural horn eyewear.

That Ralph Vaessen started a creative career as a designer at a later age did not
come as a complete surprise. Fashion, design, art, architecture and music had
been his passion since he was a child. At the age of eight, he was already
wearing designer clothes by Pierre Cardin. He started to create his own style of
clothing in 1979 at the age of thirteen, influenced by the Ska Punk music scene
and later by the “New Romantics” fashion/music sub movement of the New
Wave movement of the early.

His designs are still influenced by the British Indie music scene (and by old movies).

In the autumn of 2006, his first collection (2007) premiered in Paris and later also
showed in New York, Milan, and Tokyo.

In the autumn of 2007, the 2008 collection had its premiere in Paris again and also
showed in New York, Milan, and Tokyo.

In 2008, Ralph Vaessen decided to concentrate on sales and distribution in
addition to designing and marketing – resulting in strong growth. He also started
to combine natural horn with natural wood for his 2009 collection, which was
shown in both Paris and Milan.

In 2009, Ralph Vaessen decided to expand sales into fashion as well. The new
2010 collection had its premiere at a fashion show in Florence and at the fashion
week in Milan. Ralph Vaessen also started to combine horn with snake leather for
his 2010 collection. On request by Spyker, a Dutch sport cars manufacure, he
designed a Spyker style. Both will be presented at the Silmo in Paris later this year.
The style Spyker is nominated for the “Oscars” for eyewear, the Silmo d’Or.

His designs are sold in a few selected stores worldwide like United Arrows in Tokyo
and Colette in Paris. Also eyewear brands like Cutler & Gross (London) and Mykita
(Berlin) sell his designs in their flagship stores as well.

People that wear his designs (soon) are: Leatitia Casta, Anton Corbijn,
John Malkovich and Kate Moss.

今季　VITOR & ROLF  以OVERSIZE為主，兩位本身酷愛眼鏡用品的時裝品牌設計師堅持選用日本眼鏡手造架工房，以人手仔細打造，絕對有別於一般時裝品牌的框架，品質當然有保證。今季以簡約為主，款式易戴唔易OUTDATE，加上亞洲人 FITTING　﹣闊架身，高鼻托，臂位長，令使用者戴得舒適。今次主惱既心水推介係 MODEL 70-0071，貪其形狀罕見，而且幼身得黎架身夠紮實。

這款框架以MOSCOT的朋友和很長時間顧客演員Justin Therouxhi 的名字命名，這個框架是我們最大膽最粗的框架-專為不怯懦，怕羞的人而設! 設計是基於1960年代，Justin於電影 “Mulholland Drive” 曾佩帶的法國Vintage框架款式。這些框架用了特厚板材、五桶鉸鏈、橋梁和終端片，可Black 和 Blonde 兩種顏色可供選擇，初版Theroux的被限制300個隻，每個框架以laser編號以辯真偽。

Theroux於1996年在Mary Harron的 “I Shot Andy Warhol”做了他的影片首影。從那以後，他還在Broadway，和大獲好評的 “Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme” 擔任主角，以及參與多部非Broadway製作，喜劇及娛樂節目，例如 Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, The Baxter, Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, Broken Hearts Club and Zoolander。 他也曾參與嚴肅題材製作，如 “American Psycho”。 他最近於電影版Strangers With Candy 和 Michael Mann’s Miami Vice演出。 Theroux 並在在David 一部以誹謗為題材的電影﹣Inland Empire and Mulholland Drive 擔任主角。 於2003年，他參演英國樂隊Muse “Hysteria”一曲Music Video, Theroux也有一定的電視演出經驗，於The District擔任主角和連續劇如 “Alias”, “Ally McBeal”, “Sex and the City”和 “Six Feet Under”(他在第四集扮演了一個復發的角色)。 。2006年，他首為他首部個人電影”Dedication”執導，電影於2007年Sundance電影節初次公演。作為 Deerhoof 支持者，Theroux請他們為”Dedication”給予意見以及評分。電影節上，除了自己的作品”Dedication”，Theroux還有在其他二部有份參演的電影﹣”Broken English” and “The Ten”。後期，Theroux 開始著手寫作電影﹣Ben Stiller執導的電影 “Tropic Thunde：Rain of Madnessr” 和其幕後製作。

Named for our friend and long time MOSCOT customer, actor Justin Theroux, this frame is our boldest frame ever — not for the timid! Based on a vintage French frame from the 1960’s that Justin wore for the film, Mulholland Drive, these frames are an exact replica – right down to its extra thick temples, uniquely shaped hardware, hinge plate, five-barrel hinge, bridge and end piece. Available in Black and Blonde. The first edition Theroux’s are limited to 300 pieces, with each frame laser numbered for authenticity.

Theroux made his film debut in 1996, in Mary Harron’s I Shot Andy Warhol. Since then, he has performed both on Broadway, starring in the acclaimed Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme, numerous off-Broadway productions, and in comedies, such as Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, The Baxter, Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, Broken Hearts Club and Zoolander. He has also performed in more serious fare such as American Psycho. He recently appeared in the film versions of the cult TV show Strangers With Candy and Michael Mann’s Miami Vice. Theroux starred in David Lynch’s films Inland Empire and Mulholland Drive.
In 2003, he was featured in a music video for the British band Muse for their song “Hysteria”. Theroux also has an extensive television resume, having starred in The District and appeared on episodes of shows such as Alias, Ally McBeal, Sex and the City (in which he guest starred in two episodes as different characters, playing Jared in Season One Episode 07 “The Monogamists” and as Vaughn Wysel in Season Two Episode 15 “Shortcomings”), and Six Feet Under (in which he played a recurring character in the fourth season).
In 2006, he directed his first film, Dedication, which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. A fan of the band Deerhoof, Theroux chose them to score Dedication.[2] Theroux also had roles in two other films at the festival, Broken English and The Ten, in which he played Jesus Christ alongside Gretchen Mol. Theroux co-wrote the Ben Stiller-directed film Tropic Thunder, and also appeared in the behind-the-scenes mockumentary Tropic Thunder: Rain of Madness.

品牌介紹
LIP 法國錶經典設計品牌

如果你是法國人，那麼很有可能你的爸爸、祖父、甚至是曾祖父，都擁有一隻 Lip 的手錶；這並不誇張，當你知道 Lip 生產過約上千萬支的手錶，且大多數都已在法國售出，就能理解它的理所當然。

從 1867 年小規模的公司開始發跡，Lip 一步步茁壯成為法國最大的手錶品牌，更進而成為國際間最具代表性的法國錶品牌。不論是在品質、信賴、準確度等各方面 Lip 都維持極佳的聲譽，同時也標榜創新設計，製造出歐洲第一支電子錶、法國第一支石英錶，並擁有當時全歐洲最現代化的生產製造設備。

Lip 早期的成功多歸功於品牌行銷，是當時首開先例，舉辦全國性大規模行銷活動的手錶品牌，因而將 Lip 品牌的信譽，漸漸深植於大眾心中。打從一開始建立品牌形象， Lip 就以其品質、信賴、準確度為重點，並不使用特別流行花俏的宣傳手法，而是強調其透過手錶製品，傳達出純粹而慎重的堅持、信賴與精準。

從 1867 年開始，至今已有超過百年歷史的 Lip，在 70 年代中期就躍升為現代手錶工業當中最重要的品牌之一，許多歷史上重要的政治領袖如艾森豪、戴高樂等，都曾是 Lip 錶款的愛用者；其中由 RogerTallon 於 1974 年設計的 Lip Mach 2000 手錶，至今依然在原創錶款設計上占有一席之地。Lip 品牌以“Made in France”一路以來的堅持，打造歷久彌新的經典設計。

■ 設計師Roger Tallon
將他在航空學材質領域的知識 (防腐蝕金屬、耐高壓技術) 帶入手錶設計，將材質特性延伸轉化，造就 Lip 品牌前衛卻仍經典的設計錶款。

不只設計錶的外型，Tallon 更考量到「錶盤-人類工效學」，簡化手腕旋轉動作，以對比色增強時間的閱讀性。一支錶應具備的基本元素如錶盤、指針運作、調整時間的錶冠、錶帶、錶扣等，經過 Tallon 具原創性的設計，而變得極為與眾不同，並且為其後錶款設計留下不可磨滅的深度影響力。

影響當代多位設計大師的法國首席工業設計師

生於 1929 年，1947 到 1950 年在巴黎學習電機工程，1953 年加入法國 Technès 設計顧問中心，1957 年在巴黎應用美術學院任教，首度在法國開立設計課程，1963 年在巴黎創設裝飾藝術學院 (ENSAD)，他可說是 60 年代第一位將「Design」這個英文單字引進法國的人。

充滿好奇、勇於冒險、加上對時勢的極度敏銳，Roger Tallon與他的設計團隊在 1953 到 1973 年間設計出超過 400 件的產品，當中有許多影響後代的精采設計，包括 Sem 照相機 (1957/1961)、Japy 打字機 (1960)、Téléavia 手提電視機 (1963)、Module 400 家具系列 (1964)、Daum 玻璃杯 (1970)、Lip Mach 2000 手錶 (1973) 等。

1973年他成立跨領域設計顧問公司 Design Programmes SA，以大眾運輸工具的設計，在國際間打響名聲。從墨西哥的地下鐵(1969)、法國國鐵(SNCF)的Corail火車頭(1977)、法國高鐵第二代高速列車 TGV-Atlantique (1988)、歐洲之星 (1987) 到最新的法國雙層子彈列車，皆出自 Roger Tallon 之手。1973 年 Roger Tallon 在倫敦獲選為榮譽皇家工業設計師，1985 年則得到法國工業設計國家大賞。
