A lot of ‘new’ trends often take inspiration from iconic looks that appeared decades before. We may have said a final goodbye to summer, but sunglasses never go out of style. In honour of London Fashion Week, here is a brief history of the world’s most loved designs.
Way Back When in the Early 1900s: The Hollywood Style
With the rise of Hollywood, celebrities started using sunglasses to shield themselves from paparazzi and super fans, or at film premiere frenzies. They also look crazily glamorous, though. Nearly every fashion icon has been seen in a pair of Hollywood sunnies.

Feline Flicky in the 1950’s: The Cat Eye
Perhaps the most iconic glasses design of all time, The Cat Eye took the 50s by storm, with Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast at Tiffany's character (Holly Golightly) and Marilyn Monroe often seen in a pair. In recent years, the style has made a returned to its former glory and swept through the fashion industry as one of the most glamourous looks to ever return. Since their revival, Miranda Kerr has often shown her support of the style.

Big, Bold and Beautiful in the late 60s: The Big Frame
A statement piece, no doubt, big and bold frames were the perfect accessory to accompany the big patterns that were so prominent in the swinging sixties.

Flower Power 70s: The Coloured Lens
Setting a unisex trend, 70s icons like John Lennon rocked the circular frames with coloured lenses and the world followed. The style was reminiscent of the fun-loving, wild lifestyles that people were living.

The Crazy 80s: Plastic Frames
Even Princess Diana was a fan of bold plastic frames towards the end of the 20thcentury. Cindy Crawford loved a statement shade too. White and red were the most popular colours, but no colour was too extreme for this trend. In more recent years, Emma Roberts has been known to polish her look with white frames.

It seems that these classic models - inspired by icons of the past and maintained by fashionistas of the present - are here to stay.
Back to the future: Futuristic Frames
And to finish, we look to the future of fashion, or rather, the present popularity of 'futuristic' styles. Long since predicted as the style of the future in popular TV and films, it might be finally coming true. Looks like Back to the Future's Doc was following our Kim K on insta in his trip to the future.

HOW I GOT BACK MY HUSBAND FROM ANOTHER WOMAN WHO HAD A SPELL ON HIM.
I want to appreciate Doctor Vusi for what he has done for me and my family. I was passing through terrible things. The problem started when my husband return back from work and I discovered that his character has changed and few months after he said he is no more interested again in the marriage and I love my husband so much, all my effort to bring my husband back was abortive. I have concluded that my husband will never come back to me again. But I saw people comments on the net about Dr.Vusi how he has helped them in various ways and then my hope of getting my husband back increased and I contacted Dr Vusi about my issue and he said it is a small thing, I should relax my mind that within 48hours my husband will by himself come back home. I never believe Doctor Vusi because I have be hearing about spiritual power but don’t believe that the power work. To my greatest surprise I saw my husband from the window and I rush-out to meet him and he was crying that he never knew what came over him after seeing a lady outside our marriage. I was very happy and I promise to tell people about great and powerful DOCTOR VUSI Spellcaster who has returned my joy back to me.
