The eyeglasses 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?
There have been at least three countries who have claimed that they first invented glasses. 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.
A believable saying is that the modern sunglass was invented by Europeans. 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 cheap glasses 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 round glasses with thin metal frame which were usually worn by John Lennon and sunglasses in the same style also affected the trend of sunglasses appearance in that age. Glasses were becoming more and more round, plump, and their designs were more and more courageous.
While in 1970s, the exterior of glasses developed back to the angular style little by little. Plastic sunglasses with slick broadside and round corners were more and more popular. The lenses came with gradual changing colors as well. The famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was wearing a pair of this kind of eyeglasses at that time.
When it came to 1980s, it was the time for the square frame eyeglasses with obvious coners. The designer Karl Lagerfeld who took over Chanel in 1983 and always weared such a pair of slightly squared dark glasses, was a representative. His image with the sunglasses had been applied to the brand design. The Karl Lagerfeld Teddy Bear and Karl Lagerfeld Bag were the best examples.
In 1990s, the trend of fashion became more and more diversified day by day, not only the glasses style of prolate and evolution color lens, but also goggles and ski goggles have ever been the most popular fashionable accessories. Even the antiquated rimless sunglasses were no longer the patent of grandparents. All kinds of borderless cheap eyeglasses inlaid and coupled with gold, raw wood or gems, leather, can all be a fashion.
