A white mask of a frame, wrapped around the face with grey gradient lenses. The design is graphic enough for the city and practical enough for the mountains or the beach, and it carries the clean, sporty line of 1980s Italian eyewear.
Vogue Eyewear ivory wrap-around sunglasses, 1980s
These sunglasses were made by Vogue Eyewear in the 1980s, model VO 2288-S W826/8G. The ivory wrap-around frame combines metal and plastic, and the lenses are grey gradient. Made in Italy, the frame is light and curves around the face like a mask.
From the mountains to the beach.
Vogue Eyewear was founded in Italy in 1973 and became known for fashion-led frames at an accessible level. The brand became part of Luxottica in 1990, and its pieces from the 1970s and 1980s are now collected for their design.
Wrap-around and mask-like frames were popular in the 1980s, when sport and fashion eyewear began to merge. The curved line offers coverage and protection, while the ivory colour gives the design a clean, graphic look that works as well in the mountains as at the beach.
Light-coloured frames show wear and discolouration easily, and lenses from the period are often scratched. Examples in very good condition, with undamaged lenses, are less common.
Wrap and shield sunglasses from the 1980s and 1990s have returned to fashion, with original frames in demand.
Period lenses scratch and light frames discolour with use, so well-kept pairs are less common.
Sporty eyewear worn as a fashion statement is a current trend, adding interest in original 1980s designs.
