Famous Frames in Film

They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and if that’s true then glasses must be the frames. From bifocals to sunglasses, there’s a pair out there for every character, yet some will always remain iconic.

Flashback to 1961 with the release of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. Hepburn’s character famously sported Oliver Goldsmith’s Manhattan (1960) frames, with wide lenses and a dark tint, making these some of the most famous sunglasses of the time. As a fashion icon herself, no one could ignore the glamour of Hepburn, making her role in Breakfast at Tiffany’s one of her most memorable. 

The timeless silhouette of a pair of glasses will never go out of style, giving plenty of opportunity to show a character’s personality with a classic accessory. What do your frames say about you?
