TRENDS AND EDITS
At the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to the advances in technology, pilots were flying higher and higher, trying to brake existing altitude records. In order to do this, they had to fight extremely low temperatures and very bright lights. After a certain altitude, the pilots' goggles would fog, forcing them to take them off for a better vision, which ultimately would cause great damage to their eyes. Having suffered from this himself and seeing good friends going through these painful experiences, John Macready began collaborating with Bausch & Lomb, an American eye-health company, to develop aviator sunglasses for the army. “My dad gave Bausch & Lomb the original shape, tint and fit” of aviator lenses, said Sally Macready Wallace. By the 1970s, a “ladies” version of the glasses came in pink, with rhinestones and spangles.

Classic aviator sunglasses featuring lightweight wire frames are versatile enough to accompany all kinds of outfit combinations. Part of this shape’s appeal is its masculinity, but as a proof that fashion is focused less on the binary most aviators are unisex. As seen in “MR & MRS SMITH”, “JOY”, “BOHEMIAM RAPSODY”, “ME, MYSELF & IRENE”. For more inspiration check our CUTLER AND GROSS.
