Revival of the Wayfarer




The Wayfarer was manufactured by Ray Ban in 1952, and peaked in popularity in 1961 when they were worn by Audrey Hepburn in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's". In the 70's popularity faded, but in the 80's through clever product placement in television shows and movies like "Risky Business", the cool shades were back on every one's radar. Well guess what? 20 years later they are back again. Thanks to actresses such as Mary-Kate Olsen, and Chloe Sevigny spotted wearing vintage frames, Ray Ban took notice and re-introduced the original Wayfarer design that we love so much.
