Velvet Eyewear Sponsored the French Riviera Film Festival
Velvet Eyewear, a brand known for its distinctive eyewear designs, announced its return as an official sponsor of the French Riviera Film Festival in Cannes for the third consecutive year. The event transpired in mid-May, and the partnership reinforced the brand's commitment to supporting the arts through fashion, film, and storytelling.
Earlier in May, Velvet Eyewear shared a promotional image captured in Paris beneath the Eiffel Tower, featuring model Eugenia Kuzmina wearing the company's ultra-chic 'Candice' frames. The design was presented as embodying a cinematic and timeless aesthetic that aligns with the spirit of the French Riviera Film Festival.
