Philippe V

A bit of attitude’s never killed anyone but can sure knock someone’s out. And that’s exactly what Chantal is doing during the TEFdoesRIO shoot today, knocking them all out, wearing her No.1 frame designed by Philippe V.

Philippe V, the creation of Philippe Vergez, was born out of the observed need of people to express their individualism in a world where they are surrounded by globalized conformity, even as they have to exist in that world.  Philippe embraces authentic anarchistic values and is a direct reflection of what is buried deep inside many people: a refusal to be tamed, a desire to live an unconfirmed life, or if living a conformed life is necessary, to do it with a twist, with a chameleon-like grace that keeps your spirit alive.

Philippe V’s model N# 1 is made out of Italian acetate and stainless steel and fitted with German stainless steel hinges and metal parts. Their CR39 Essilor Sun Solutions lenses are coated with a oilophobic treatment on the front of the lens and a inner anti reflective coating.
