Thierry Lasry showing his FW09 collection at Hong Kong's Harvey Nichols

A handsome and energetic Frenchman wearing a stylish vested shirt matched with a pair of limited edition multicolored sneakers, Thierry gave off more than an air of sophistication and youthful swank, a trait that his eyewear designs share.
