Fifty Shades - Grey Fox finds sunglasses inspiration

Tuesday, 4 June 2013

With the sun appearing at last, thoughts turn to sunglasses. With so many retro styles around, where better to seek inspiration than in classic images of our favourite style icons wearing their favourite shades?

50 shades cover

50 Shades is a collection of such images, collected and written by Lauren Goldstein Crowe and published by Reel Art Press. The book features such people as Clint Eastwood, Jackie Onassis, Steve McQueen, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Brian Jones, Elvis Presley, Yves Saint Laurent and Grey Fox's all-time favourite crush (shh!) Debbie Harry.

Here are a few of my favourite images (all from Getty Image Archive).

    Crikey, you got me there... I fell for it hook, line and almost sinker. I'm glad you were only talking about sunglasses :-) While I try to keep an open mind about all things, I don't approve of poor literature!
