Designer Glasses As A Statement
Glasses not only influence the way other people see us but on occasion they really can make the man (or woman!). John Lennon's trademark round lenses were so recognisable that the style came to be named after him as the 'Lennon'. This isn't only a demonstration of how much glasses can influence a person's image but also says something about the modern media. The 'Lennon' could as well have been called the 'Groucho Marx', the 'Mahatma Gandhi' or even the 'Joseph Stalin', all of whom wore the same style but it was Lennon's name that stuck.
The movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise as Lt Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and Kelly McGillis as Charlotte “Charlie” Blackwood with adequate support from Val Kilmer as Lt Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, launched several careers and fuelled many an adolescent fantasy, arguably the real stars though were the aviator sunglasses that adorned the cast in most of the movie. When the film aired sales of the aviator style specs soared with it, as the F14 Tomcat jet fighters, which at the time were the zenith of US naval aviation. Aviator style shapes are also the preferred designer sunglasses of Cristiano Ronaldo and were the accessory of choice for the late king of pop, Michael Jackson.
Designer glasses are of course mainly about image, but sometimes that image doesn’t need to be tremendously cool. Just look at the two Ronnies in their famous geeky horn rim glasses which literally became the very trademark of their show. Easily as widely recognisable as the glasses of Cruise and Lennon, these specs had a very different agenda of deliberately making the wearers look as silly as possible. Snooker player Dennis Taylor's famous designer glasses had a distinctive, swivel-lens, upside-down design. They may have looked slightly odd, but they helped Taylor win the 1985 world snooker title. One of the more bizarre pairs of glasses worn by a celebrity were the trademark horn rimmed specs of comedian Eric Sykes. Those designer glasses contained no lenses at all and were actually a bone-conducting hearing aid as Sykes had become profoundly deaf as an adult.
