After working in Paris for Royale Optique and Alain Mikli, Salaun landed in New York City to manage Mikli’s first New York store.  Foregoing the launch of Mikli’s first store in Japan, the first Selima Optique boutique was opened in 1993 on the corner of Wooster and Broome in Soho.  The Optique began fulfilling custom orders with a French atelier when a friend (Hubert Kriegel of the Timeless Ride) asked if Selima could make him a “funkier” version of the iconic “Le Corbusier” frame.  After Barney’s president bought a few customs, the store asked to carry a full brand collection and, with some wholesale guidance from Barneys, the first official Selima Optique collection was produced and sold through a shop-in-shop at Barneys New York in 1996.  Since 1996 the company has expanded with retail locations and wholesale accounts across the world and into different industries as well.  In the 2000s there was Selima’s Soho lingerie store “Le Corset,” French-inspired luxury lingerie shopped by New Yorkers and worn by Baby Spice in the Rolling Stone Magazine.  And in 2009 there was “Hats by Selima Atelier,” a collection of eclectic hats created with partner Virginie Promeyrat and notably shopped by Madonna.  Now, Selima Optique has retail locations in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Paris, France and its collection is wholesaled globally.  The brand has collaborated with the likes of Jack Spade and J.Crew, and more recently with NBA MVP Russell Westbrook, style icon Iris Apfel, and New York’s Neue Galerie.  Personally, Selima Salaun has helped mentor designers like Darylynn and Coco & Breezy while sitting on the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s board and helping found the Eyewear Designers of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (efCFDA).  Popular with celebrities and creatives, Selima’s clients include Anne Hathaway, Lady Gaga, and Ryan Gosling.
