Thélios, the LVMH eyewear expert, is proud to announce their three-year collaboration with La Biennale di Venezia as a supporter of the Venice International Film Festival, becoming its official sponsor for eyewear starting this year.
The luxury eyewear company founded in 2017, makes its official entry to the world of cinema, which has greatly contributed to make eyewear a fashionable accessory, thanks to iconic actresses and actors over the decades.
“The Venice International Film Festival is one of the most prestigious events in the world and we are proud to support La Biennale di Venezia, which is a strong ambassador of Italian culture at a global level.” - Alessandro Zanardo, CEO of Thélios commented “Cinema and eyewear have always been a perfect match, by aesthetics and the passion for details, giving people a vision on the world. In the history of cinema, eyewear has contributed to create iconic movie characters and help defining their personalities: we couldn’t think of a better field of expression than this festival, which is so close to our roots in the Veneto region”
With its Manifattura based in Longarone, in the Veneto region, Thélios stands for Italian craftsmanship at every step of production. Thélios is particularly proud to support Biennale Cinema 2022, a one-of-a kind Venetian cultural manifestation, which has such an international outreach.
Highlights of the collaboration include the Thélios Suite, located at the prestigious Hotel Excelsior, which will feature an institutional showroom presenting an exclusive selection of its Maisons’ Fall-Winter 2022 collections. The event space will also host hospitality experiences for Thélios guests, press junkets for selected movies and other press and industry events.
