The Influence of Designer Glasses
Glasses can make, and on occasion define, the man (or woman!). John Lennon was so attached to his round coloured Windsor style glasses that the style is now almost solely referred to 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. In the immediate aftermath of the screening, sales of this particular style took off a quickly 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. Their glasses became easily as iconic and recognisable as those of Lennon or Cruise but in the case of the two Ronnies, the point was to make them look sillier and more geeky. Snooker player Dennis Taylor’s famous designer glasses had a distinctive, swivel-lens, upside-down design. Those glasses helped Taylor win the world snooker title, even if they did look a bit strange. Perhaps the most unusual celebrity designer glasses wearer was comedy writer and performer Eric Sykes, who was never seen without his black horn rims. In fact there was nothing wrong with Sykes’ eyesight, instead the ‘glasses’ were merely a bone-conducting hearing aid, and contained no glass at all.
