Luxottica & Armani Getting Re-Hitched?

Giorgio Armani
Luxottica and Armani "are inching closer to signing an exclusive licensing deal, the companies announced Wednesday," CNBC reported yesterday. "The two companies have signed a letter of intent which is preliminary to the signing of a 10-year licensing agreement. The licensing agreement is expected to cover the design, manufacturing and global distribution of sun and prescription eyewear under the Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani and A/X brands. The deal is anticipated to start in January 2013." Read more.  

As noted yesterday, Armani and Luxottica have signed a letter of intent regarding the licensing deal. The Safilo-Armani licensing deal will not expire until December 31, 2012. Safilo hooked up with Armani only after a falling out with the previous licensee--Luxottica.
