Robert François Pinton, friends with film stars such as Marlene Dietrich and Cary Grant, understood better than anyone what these stars were looking for.
After the Second World War, François became friends with numerous personalities such as Marcel Pagnol and Sacha Guitry from the “Tout-Paris” society. He was inspired by them and designed his first exclusive eyewear collections for the international elite in 1953. With the mythical model “Jacky O”, a handmade frame for Jackie Kennedy Onassis, the attention of the international elite was a fact. The brand “la Maison François Pinton” was not only popular with movie stars but also with royalty.
In the 60s and 70s, Dominique Pinton, son of Robert François, launched the iconic “Côte d'Azur” series. This line, including the “de Monaco”, which was specially designed for Grace Kelly, was very popular with the jet set of the Côte d'Azur. François Pinton glasses became the symbol of Le Dolce Vita.
