Modo was born in 1990 in Soho, New York, under the entrepreneurial
spirit of its founder, Alessandro Lanaro. Modo has evolved into a
company that designs designer brands and contemporary lifestyle brands –
all under the common denominator of design and innovation.
Our
brands include Modo, Eco, Derek Lam, Jason Wu and 7 For All Mankind.
Modo is a global company with offices in New York, Milan and Stockholm.
Today, Modo drives the eyewear industry’s effort in sustainability
and social responsibility. With initiatives like producing frames with
recycled content or biobased materials (Eco brand), planting trees for
every frame sold (Eco’s “one frame – one tree”), giving free spectacles
to those in need (Modo’s “buy a frame – give a frame”), Modo is a
pioneer in merging style and purpose. |

JASON WU
Influenced by the classic photography
of Richard Avedon and the collections of Charles James and Jacques Fath,
Jason Wu decided to become a fashion designer while spending his senior
year of high school in Paris, and later interned with Narciso Rodriguez.
His first full collection debuted in 2006 & won the Fashion Group
International’s Rising Star award in 2008. Wu’s collection aims to
revitalize the art and perfection of dressing with a relaxed and
youthful attitude. The collection is stocked at the finest and most
luxury stores such as Colette, Bergdorf Goodman, Browns, and many
others. TO COLLECTION |

DEREK LAM
Lam’s specialty is relaxed, wearable,
feminine clothes that are playful with a hint of sophistication.
Chinese-American fashion designer Derek Lam‘s interest in the world of
fashion grew out of a childhood surrounded by garments. An alumnus of
Parson’s School of Design, Lam founded his own company in 2002 after 12
years of extensive design experience both at Michael Kors and retail
brands throughout Asia.
Devoted to elegant, clothes that work,
Lam’s specialty is relaxed, wearable, feminine clothes that are playful
with a hint of sophistication. Lam has won 2007 Best Accessories in the
prestigious CFDA competition. Since his 2003 debut, the CFDA-award
winner has mastered precise silhouettes with soft, womanly leanings and
a subtle seventies homage. Each fall and spring Derek Lam collection is |

ECO
ECO was conceived by Alessandro Lanaro, founder of Modo. His idea
was to create the first eyewear brand with sustainability and social
responsibility as its main commitments.
ECO is the only eyewear
brand made of 95% recycled content and 63% biobased material. A tree is
planted for every frame sold. We empower customers to donate their
unwanted eyewear to people in need by reusing Eco’s packaging, which
provides the gift of sight to 314 million adults and children worldwide.
Eco’s mission has become a game-changer in the industry. “Adding
sustainability and social responsibility to a great collection like Eco
was certainly a winning combination. We are humbled by the reception in
the market place and we are proud of our achievements, notably planting
1 million trees in Cameroon! There is a great journey in front of us and
are committed to keep on going!” Alessandro Lanaro says. |
