The Ray-Ban brand is one of the most iconic eyewear companies in the world and despite it being regarded as one of the trendiest, fashion forward and contemporary brands, it was actually founded back in 1936 with the launch of the timelessly stylish aviator. Though the aviator was specifically designed to protect the eyes of pilots, when the design was launched to the public, it quickly became noted that the high function was also complimented with style appeal. Since then, Ray-Ban has proceeded to launch a number of the world’s most iconic glasses and sunglass styles including the Wayfarer and the Clubmaster. The Ray-Ban glasses collection was introduced in 2003, and just three years after it’s launch it had become the world top selling optical glasses brand.
Ray-Ban is favoured and worn by a number of celebrities including Brad Pitt, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Nicole Ritchie, Sienna Miller, Natalie Portman and Demi Moore, with the brand also being featured in films such as Reservoir Dogs, Risky Business, Blues Brothers and Top Gun.
The collection of Ray-Ban glasses are very much consistent with the aesthetic styles of the sunglasses and are divided into categories including active lifestyle, highstreet, icons and tech. The frames vary from the cool and classic Wayfarer shapes to sleek and chic rectangular frames boasting an understated and versatile finish. Colour is also a highly prominent element with many of the styles available in an array of vibrant colours and patterns, and perfectly conveying the cool, striking and effortlessly stylish Ray-Ban edge.
The Ray-Ban glasses are made from materials including metal, plastic and titanium, with the plastic styles largely depicting the essence of the statement geek-chic trend. Upon each design, the Ray-Ban logo is typically displayed upon the temple and like the collection of sunglasses, the flawless style is met with superb quality with the lenses being thin yet incredibly durable, scratch resistant and incorporating an anti reflection lens coating. Ultimately, each pair of Ray-Ban glasses will serve longevity and become a staple fashion and practical accessory for years to come.
