Bradn Pitt and Angelina Jolie wear Aviator Sunglasses

Aviator sunglasses vogue, born in the 1950s, was heavily revived in the 1980s and today is coming back into female and male fashion.
Aviator sunglasses were made in the first half of the 1900s by RAY-BAN with the name "Aviator", since they were created to provide maximum protection from sunlight during the crossing of Atlantic Ocean in dirigible of lieutenant MacCready.
Afterward they became famous thanks to film as "Breakfast at Tiffany's” (1952) and revived  by" Top Gun "( 1986): they’ve been worn by many Hollywood stars that made them an ageless accessory.

La moda degli occhiali “a goccia”, nata negli anni ’50, è stata fortemente rilanciata negli anni ’80 ed oggi fa ritorno imponendosi come must nella moda femminile e maschile.
Gli occhiali a goccia nascono nella prima metà del ‘900 dalla ditta Ray-ban col nome di “aviator”, poiché pensati per offrire massima protezione dai raggi solari durante la traversata atlantica in pallone aerostatico del luogotenente MacCready. In seguito vengono resi celebri grazie a film come “Colazione da Tiffany” (1952) e rilanciati da “Top Gun” (1986): sono stati indossati da numerose star hollywoodiane che li hanno resi un accessorio intramontabile.
