The eyeglasses frames have been the must-have articles for fashion guys in summer. As to the invention of sunglasses, there are many different versions. It is easy to understand that all of the countries want to be the cradleland of the sunglass now that it is so popular now. But there can be only one mother country, and which can it be?
Now, there are at least three countries claiming that they invented eyeglasses firstly. 500 years ago, some Spanish missionaries mentioned in their books that they brought glasses back from China, but it is a pity that there is no tangible object as a proof. Another version goes like that: 500 year ago, Eskimo used a kind of goggles that were made of wood. Actually, there were two seams on a long plank, which surely can’t be viewed as sunglasses.
It is convincible that modern sunglasses were invented by European. The image of Douglas MacArthur, the U.S. general of air force, with a corncob pipe in his mouth and a pair of AO dark glasses, has been deeply rooted among the people At the same time, more and more Hollywood stars became crazy about this style of sunglasses. Thus glasses online have come into fashion widely among broad masses and in this way the pilot style glasses have become a forever classic.
In the 1950s, Elvis Aron Presley's music was spreading all over the world. His iconic ducktail hair style, together with his dressing up wearing a pair of goose egg style dark glasses connected with a piece of downward-pointing triagle iron, was being imitated by an army of young people. In 1960s, a vigorous movement of music culture led by the Beatles swept the entire world, and at the same time buried the Presley Dynasty completely.
The small-bois iron thin-spectacle-frame round glasses often resting on John Lennon's nose and the dark glasses of the same style also influenced the exterior trend of all dark glasses at that time. Eyeglasses were becoming rounder and rounder, plumper and plumper; their design also became more and more courageous.
In 1970s, the outlook of sunglasses gradually turned to be angled. Slippy broadside and round angular plastic dark glasses were more and more popular, and guadual change of colors appeared in the spectacle lens. The famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent weared such a pair of glasses in those days.
When it came to 1980s, it was the time for the square frame eyeglasses with obvious coners. Karl Lagerfeld, the designer who took over the Chanel in 1983 was one of the representatives. This kind of sunglasses which seemed to be square was accompanied with him all the year. The image of his wearing dark glasses had early been applied to brand designing, and Karl Lagerfeld, Teddy Bear and Karl Lagerfeld Bag were the best examples.
In 1990s, there were more and more trend indexes. Both prolate sunglasses with gradual changing color lenses, goggles and ski goggles were once the coolest fashionable accessories. And the old borderless sunglasses are no longer grandparents' monopoly. Various rimless prescription glasses with embedded objects, gold, wood, gem or leather, all can be the trend.
