Armani Glasses: Eyewear You'll Love to Use
Italy is one of the leading producers of luxury goods in the world. There are many designer brands
that have originated from this country. Prada, Gucci, Tod's, and Salvatore Ferragamo are among the
most popular luxury brands that the world has embraced. But we would not be focusing on these
designer labels.
In this article, we will be talking about the Armani glasses and the man behind the label. The luxury
brand was established in 1975.
By the year 1998, he delivered his first eyeglasses collection. Today, his business has an annual
income of $1.6 billion. As of 2011, the value of his assets is said to be worth as much as $7 billion.
His fashion empire is spread out in 37 nations around the world, cementing his status as one of the
top fashion designers in the world.
Giorgio Armani Eyewear made celebrations on its 20th anniversary in 2008 by holding a photo
exhibition at Armani/Privé in Milan. This was during the international optical trade show, MIDO.
The first collection was launched by the Luxottica Group in 1988. Today, it is now distributed by the
Safilo Group. The group has had the license since the year 2003. The photo exhibit featured
famous models like Amber Valletta and Raoul Bova. Giorgio Armani created some of the images
throughout the past 20 years of the product line. This illustrated the evolution of the brand’s
eyewear line.

During the occasion, there were two iconic styles that were resurrected for the product line's 20th
anniversary. The GA 634/N, which was made available in 1989 features a gold-plated ophthalmic
frame which has slim lines surrounding the pair of oval-shaped lenses. It also features that
sophisticated curved bridge and temples. The GA 646/N/S is a circular pair of sunglasses that
features a chiselled bridge.
These two styles reflect the style that Giorgio Armani is known for: basic, minimalist, lightweight
and elegant. “The profile should be as simple, precise, and linear as possible,” the fashion designer
says. He continues: “Opting for the linear look does not necessitate the elimination of ornament,
but rather the avoidance of artificial, uncomfortable and unacceptable shapes.”
Armani glasses are a truly elegant fashion accessory designed to adorn the wearer's face. These
glasses will definitely add personality to those who will the eyewear pieces.
The brand's eyewear collections are wearable and they are simple. They are not pretentious and
they do not seek attention. Classically designed and durable, these glasses will remain in your
possession for many years to come.

Gucci Glasses: Experience Impeccable Italian
Craftsmanship
Gucci. The word invokes images of elegance, sophistication, and great style. Luxury items are the
company's offering. The brand never fails to amaze fashion editors and fashionistas during fashion
events. The brand continues to provide men, women, and even children with the full range of
clothing items, leather goods, and other accents that are beautiful, durable, and absolutely
elegant.
Why is Gucci so popular? The answer to that question is simple. Quality. One can expect high
quality products that have that impeccable Italian craftsmanship. This brand has been around since
1921, and it continues to be one of the most powerful fashion houses in the entire world.
From clothes to leather goods, this Italian brand continues to dominate the fashion world. It is one
of the most highly valued brands. Men and women purchase their designer shoes and bags from
this company. Gucci glasses are also among their most popular items.
Fashionable men and women don their favourite Gucci sunglasses during the day. For those who
need prescriptive glasses, Gucci frames are available for purchase. You can get your prescription
lenses framed in any of Gucci’s fashion pieces. This can be done by the optical shop where you get
the frame. For protective purpose, you can get photochromic lenses. These lenses enable your
corrective glasses to become sunglasses as well.
If you really want to stand out and get noticed, you should get yourself a pair from this esteemed
Italian brand. Because of the brand's popularity, there has even been an increase in the availability

of replicas and fake goods.
Do not purchase these items. They are illegal and they do not have the same quality as the
authentic ones. You should get your glasses from authorised resellers so that you can be assured
that what you are getting is authentic.
Never settle for fakes and rip-off items. Wearing them will only make you look like a fool, a person
that tries so hard to be hip and cool. You do not want to be that kind of person.
All of the sunglasses from Gucci are made using high-quality materials. They offer 100 percent UV
protection so that your eyes remain protected.
Gucci glasses are available only in authorised online reseller platforms. They are delivered together
with their protective case. Choose from the many designs that are just stunning and equally stylish.

Ray-Ban Glasses: Forever Classics
Anyone who has not seen a pair of Ray Ban glasses or heard of it must be living under a rock!
Joking aside, this American brand remains to be the most popular eyewear brand around the
world. Founded in the year 1937, this high-end brand of eyewear was recently sold to the Luxottica
Group for a cool $640 million.
Ray Ban is credited as the most influential eyewear brand in the world. It gave birth to the classic
Aviators and the hip Wayfarers. These styles are copied by practically all designers, each of them
opting to add their revisions to distinguish it from the original Ray-Ban releases.
These styles are also among the most heavily copied by counterfeiters that place a stamp of Ray
Ban onto the glasses even if the products are obviously fake. Do not buy them. They are of
substandard quality and they are not worth your money. You should always choose original
products.
First patented in 1937, the Aviators were popularised by General Douglas MacArthur when he
strode on the beach in the Philippine Islands during the World War II. He was photographed
wearing the pair. The style then became an international success.
Aviators feature reflective lenses that are set on metal frames. The original design had G-15
tempered glass lenses. This design is meant to filter sunlight and keep harsh lights from straining
one’s vision as much as possible, from any angle.
Another classic pair is the Ray Ban Wayfarer. These glasses are made of plastic. Because of its
P a g e | 10
material, the sunglasses proved to be durable, capable of withstanding regular use and abuse.
Movie stars, televisions stars, rock stars and other musicians had been spotted and photographed
wearing this style of sunglasses. Of course, the public just had to get their hands on it. It became a
staple fashion accessory during the 80s.
The Aviators and the Wayfarers are available in various colours and gradients which will suit your
look just right. The brand should be able to provide you with what you need.
If you are looking for a pair of sunglasses that will never go out style, then Ray Ban glasses should
be your number one choice. The brand is able to withstand the test of time. To this day, more and
more people are still getting their very own pair. Choose a product that has been in the business
for years. Go for the brand that pioneered the classics – the one many designers of today struggle
to emulate.

Prada Glasses: Fashion Forward Eyewear
Designer products are usually synonymous with luxury and affluence. Prada has been a symbol of
style and sophistication for almost a hundred years now. Established in 1913, the brand continues
to produce items that are just absolutely stunning. It is one of the few luxury brands that have
consistently managed to capture the high-end market.
The year 1999 saw the introduction of the eyewear collection of Prada. Prada and the De Rigo
group joined forces to produce a stunning collection of eyewear pieces. It took two years for the
De Rigo group to finally get Prada to work with them in producing eyewear. The partnership was a
success. Prada glasses were an obvious hit among the fashionable and those who can afford to
purchase the luxury items.
This brand is very careful when it comes to the quality of their products. You can be assured that
what you are getting is something that you will love and use for a long time.
The brand continues to produce fashion-forward eyewear collections that are innovative,
luxurious, and absolutely stylish. Hollywood celebrities are loyal fans, along with socialites who are
never shy in showing off their recent purchase. Paparazzi shots capture these men and women
wearing their Prada sunglasses or eyeglasses.

The Italian company produces eyewear designs that are suited to men and women who have
different lifestyles. There are delicate pieces that are classic in design. There are also sunglasses
that are perfect for active individuals who engage in sports. The designs are often simple and basic,
yet completely functional.
You will need to have your customised pair of lenses made if you are hyperopic or myopic (far-
sighted, nearsighted), with the lenses set on the Prada frames that you have selected.
If you want your Prada glasses to serve as sunglasses, then choose photochromic lenses that
change in colour when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. You would not have to wear
sunglasses because all you need is your corrective pair.
Choosing a designer pair of sunglasses may be difficult to do especially with the vast array of styles
and designs. If you want to remain in fashion no matter what season it may be, choose frames that
are classic in design - those that never go out of style.
If you want to make a bold statement, choose Prada. They are known to produce statement pieces
that are just fashionably forward and avant garde. You may order your Prada glasses online where
there are plenty of styles to choose from. Look carefully and you might even score discounted
items.
