Celebrities continued to carry the legacy of Giuseppe’s work throughout history, the likes of Steve McQueen, Ryan Gosling, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig and George Clooney to name a few.

Take some notes from the below as we explore the 7 most iconic sunglasses in history.įormed in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, Persols were originally catered for pilots and sports drivers who required superior eye protection without the compromise of quality and supreme style. Along with the brands came the people who wore them, with certain personalities making the sunglasses they wore more famous than they could ever imagine.Īlthough style plays a huge role in the sunglass industry, history tells us that their purpose was for protection, and living under the Australian sun means nothing is more pertinent than the need for a good set of lenses. Since the 1900s, the style and design of sunglasses have diversified immensely, and with that we’ve seen plenty of new styles and brands emerge. In China, it’s been said that judges in Chinese courts wore flattened smoky Quartz to again reduce glare, but also hide their expression as they interrogated witnesses. It wasn’t until the 1700s that tinted and coloured lens glasses began to emerge, primarily in an effort to correct colour blindness, and by the 1900s they had become fashionable, with actors and musicians wearing sunglasses as we know them to enhance their look and protect their eyes. The earliest sunglasses date back to 12th century Rome when emperors would watch gladiators fight through flat polished gems to reduce the sun glare.
