The Influence of Designer Glasses
Glasses not only influence the way other people see us but on occasion they really can make 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'. Not only do the 'Lennons' show how much power a pair of glasses really can have when placed upon the nose of an icon, but it also says a lot about the media. Lennon glasses could just as easily been called after Groucho Marx, Mahatma Gandhi, or Joseph Stalin, - they all wore the same style.
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. Sales of this style soared in the wake of the film's release 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.
Of course much of the reason anyone wears designer glasses is because of looking good and getting the image they want, but that doesn't always mean looking 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. Those glasses helped Taylor win the world snooker title, even if they did look a bit strange. One strange celebrity glasses situation was that of comedian Eric Sykes who was never seen without his trademark black horn rim specs. 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.
