Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita only acquired red plastic heart frames in Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 film.
The lorgnette of Jane Eyre’s author, Charlotte Brontë, inspires wonder, as in how was she able to write in 1847 and see at the same time?Īt least by 1869, Little Women author Louisa May Alcott had a prairie companion of wire-rims with arms. Perhaps we can blame the somber times for her plain-Jane style - FDR governed in the Great Depression and WWII. Her specs are immortalized on the cover of This is My Story (1937), part one of her three-tome autobiography. (Actually, it is coincidental.) Round frames that make the womanįirst Lady Eleanor Roosevelt pulled out bland metal-rimmed granny glasses and Wayfarers strictly for business - as a highly successful magazine advice columnist. More recent - and less torturous - spec stars are a hard-wired act to follow: Basic black Wayfarer wearersĪctress, director and photographer Diane Keaton, whose wardrobe is black, white, ivory and ebony, wears black or burgundy Wayfarers and sporadically bronze-wire squovals (as she did in 1996’s First Wives Club), with the random round wireless thrown in.Ĭoincidence? Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Diane Keaton’s hero, mostly is robed in black and wears - wait for it - black Wayfarers and wire-rim squovals. Anything but harmless were the armless pince-nez (literally French for “pinched nose”) and single-hard-handled lorgnettes (from the French for “to squint”). You need not have 20/20 eyesight to know what inspired the names of women’s glasses in centuries past. We’ve come a long way, baby, since Dorothy Parker declared in 1925: “Men seldom make passes at women who wear glasses.” Flirtatious stars Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Lady Gaga have proved her wrong - repeatedly.Īlso in our rearview mirror are the days of suffering for one’s vision.
Now 42, married and pregnant, Lisa Loeb is about to release her very own eyewear 'The LL Collection'. However she is probably just as well known for her 1920's inspired cat-eye glasses.

Why many may remember Lisa Loeb for her intimate and vul nerable acoustic tunes like the Reality Bites movie tune Stay.
