- Launched by Ray-Ban way back in 1952, Wayfarer sunglasses became an instant classic... and you need a pair.
- Audrey Hepburn wore them to Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. In the 1980's Madonna was desperately sought as 'Susan', wearing a pair.
- Even more famously.... When he had a job as a real movie star and didn't jump on Oprah's couch or alledgedly keep Katie Holmes in a cupboard, a young Tom Cruise donned a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and danced in his underwear for 'Risky Business'.
- Of course, you're too young to remember any of this. But we're pretty sure you won't have been able to ignore the Wayfarers throughout Summer 2008...
- Once again the infamous Wayfarer has become a celebrity staple, popping up on famous faces all over town...
- ... and out here in the country too. Our very own Chief at Auction Room HQ (Duncan) has recently been papped in a pair. Make no mistake - he's pretty well known down at the village Post Office.
- As a Ray-Ban classic, these bad boys will never be 'out'. In fact, they just keep getting better. And now Ray-Ban has produced them in a choice of colours too:
- The Icon Wayfarers (RB2140) are available in a whole load of brave, bold shades, and a range of funky bi-colour combinations... as well as the classic Black, of course.
- Feeling pure? Covered. Check out the white Wayfarers, with various crystal compliment options.
Feeling bold? Covered. Try turquoise, or purple and red, or perhaps tortoise set off with green lenses.
Feeling dangerous? Covered. Green camouflage is for you.
And the choices don't stop there....
- Whether you're dancing in your delicates, lunching with friends, compensating for a tragically average summer in a deliciously tropical locale, or dazzling on the ski slopes this Winter, Ray-Ban Wayfarers have got you covered.
Face it... you need these.
- Iron that underwear, practice your dance routine and bid here for your own Ray-Ban Wayfarers circa 2008.
