Fashion Fads Survive in Designer Eyewear

Filed Under Brand Wave, Eyewear Knowledge 



Fads come and go, trends last a bit longer, but one’s personal style is a collaboration of the old and the new, of the fads from yesteryear coupled with the trends of the present. One of the biggest fashion fads of 2009 will be the coupling of the old and the new, as evidenced by the design houses’ sneak peaks at their Spring/Summer 09 collections. To get a jump on the fashion that’s lastin’ check out a lesser known brand of eyewear called Web, and the elegant style of Burberry.


Web combines the elegance and class of the 1930’s with the technology of today. The 1930’s a time of innovation and, more importantly, aviation, has become known as an era of elegance and luxury. The sunglasses inspired by that generation have all of the characteristics of the period with all of the ergodynamics of today.


Since the 1850s Burberry has been designing for comfort, the outdoors and for classy and elegant style. Burberry eyewear is clean lined and simple, but not unnoticeable. For the 1960s look with larger, Jackie-O shaped frames and darker or gradient lenses, check out Burberry’s unique 2008 and forthcoming 2009 collections.


The 1970s and 1980s brought a backlash against the overly large and bulky shades of previous years. As one fad waxes, another wanes. Following the larger shades came smaller, thinner and more rectangular shades in dark and fixed colors. Check out Revo sunglasses to get the look of the 80s and 90s. An emerging design house focused on simplicity, continuity and minimalism, Revo shades are the perfect counterweight to the Burberry fad.


Whatever your era of choice, you’ll find shades that hallmark the period.
