The history of logos is long and storied. Brands and consumers alike adore them on their clothing and accessories.
Whether they are big and bold like Dolce & Gabbana’s approach or a simple interlocking initial like Gucci’s, the presence of logos has a stronghold on the industry. Logos have played a significant role with sunglasses in particular. They offer instant recognition and visual representation of a brand.
When you see a pair of sunglasses and the recognizable designer logo, you know you’re getting high-quality, luxurious, and stylish sunglasses.
If there is one color that was a major trend this fall on the runway, it’s oxblood. A dark, rich, moody, wine-red color that evokes power, drama, and allure and seen on the likes of Gucci, Ferragamo, Hermes, and Erdem. While the regal shade draws naturally to formal and evening looks, it makes a surprising pop of color in accessories like glasses.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, vivid red sunglasses were a summer staple, whether they had playful tinted lenses or candy apple red frames. High-gloss frames were a light and bright summer staple. While the color of the year may be peach fuzz, red will continue to be a prevalent color story in 2024 and beyond.
The most iconic and widely recognized eyewear brand, Ray-Ban, is synonymous with timeless glasses. They were born to fill a niche in the optics business almost a century ago and continue to cement the brand as one of the world’s most popular.
Do you know the brand’s history? Want to see how they’ve kept their legacy of leadership alive? Let’s take a look.
