1979 – 1991
A decade
of extraordinary eyewear design
the 1980s where crucial in the evolution of eyewear. The glam period carried by the likes of Elvis Presley and Elton John was overthrown by new influences like Punk and Hip Hop culture. Exponents of these subversive youth cultures started to appropriate styles of glasses which had been designed for a totally different public: posh european eyewear made their way to US inner cities, where brands like Cazal and Dior became a part of the fashion identity of early Hip Hop culture. Today, regardless of brands reissuing or copying popular designs of the time, original vintage frames and glasses enjoy a further increasing demand, and with each year that passes, more and more people fall in love with the incredible qualitiy and design of the originals.
