1960s

In the 1960’s, special emphasis was given to functional features and the practicality of glasses.

individual manufacturers produced partially through handicraft, incredibly solid glasses which entirely served to protect the eye.

With stars like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, movies like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, “Easy Rider” and “The Thomas Crown Affair”, the 1960’s was a time of changing life attitudes and transformation in how people viewed their own individuality. Sunglasses were an expression of this.
