How Cat Eye Sunglasses Once Saved the World

Tom Ford Nikita Sunglasses

Bring back the vintage style of the timeless cat eye sunglasses! The ultrafeminine cat-eye design is nothing new to the fashion world as it lends a retro ’60s look. Cat eye glasses reached their peak popularity when Audrey Hepburn wore a pair in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. For fall 2010, cat eye glasses were reinvented as a statement accessory we have seen at Prada – Miuccia put colorful cat eye sunglasses on model’s noses.

Ultra-mod, must-have cat’s-eye design in lightweight acetate with Prada logo temples.

As for spring summer 2011, fashion bands including Twenty8Twelve, Christian Dior, Jeremy Scott, House of Harlow, Ray Ban and Calvin Klein are bringing retro back. Also, Tom Ford’s Eyewear ad campaign featured Abbey Lee Kershaw wearing a number of chic vintage sunglasses (yes, she had to dye her hair platinum blond!).

In a feminine cat eye silhouette, every woman will find a key to getting Nicole Richie, Kate Moss and Hilary Duff’s effortlessly chic look. Also fashion favourite maid, Anna Dello Russo highlighted her showstopping style in cat eye sunglasses. It is a cool-girl accent to sunny-day ensembles.
