In order to be on the cutting edge of fashion, you must know that sunglasses are those essential accessories that may transform a whole outfit from gaudy into sleek. One such brand of sunglasses that has been doing just that since the 1930s is the Ray Ban. Initially manufactured during World War II for pilots in the Army Air Corps to prevent damage to their eyes caused by UV rays, Ray Ban aviator sunglasses have come to symbolize an American sense of class and ease.
Hundreds of Ray Ban sunglasses have appeared in Hollywood sitting atop the noses of starlets and leading men. In the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly sports a classic pair of black Ray-Ban Wayfarers in the famous scene where she stops to look into Tiffany's jewelry store window. Most people can also probably remember the scene in Risky Business where Tom Cruise, wearing nothing but a button-down shirt, socks and Ray Bans, slides across the floor in song and dance. With its hefty exposure, the Ray Ban sunglasses brand has been making its mark on entertainment, cementing its status along with those wearing it, as a true icon.
Now, the 70-year old label is re-branding and using its legacy in the film and music industry to make a huge comeback. The challenge behind promoting a historic brand such as the Ray Ban sunglasses is the hinderance of making something so classic into a modern phenomenon. Apparently, the Wayfarer model is the vessel to complete this task and help take it to new levels of popularity. Today, these classic models can be scene on the streets of LA and New York worn by ingenues and actresses like Kirsten Dunst and the Olsen twins. At Sunglasses Online, we carry a big selection of these iconic Wayfarers in different colors and sizes. You can opt for the classic black "Original Wayfarer Sunglasses" which comes with the essential look and feel of the original pair worn by the lovely Ms. Hepburn. Everything--from the famous logo on the left temple to the slight slant of the lenses--was kept the same to preserve that vintage sensibility and appeal to the sunglasses lover's nostalgia.
