2 PORTRAIT OF A SUN COLLECTOR As he watched the world go by from the spotless terraces of St-Tropez in the summer of 1971, Vilebrequin founder Fred Prysquel began to frame a story from behind his tinted lenses. The colorful, carefree world of his revolutionary swim short sketches has remained the essence of the Vilebrequin spirit ever since. Season after season, Vilebrequin continues to build a lifestlyle vision inspired by the art of living in summer. Today, we proudly introduce eyewear to our design know-how, adding a new layer to our portrait of a sun collector. Roland Herlory, Vilebrequin CEO
