MR. BOND, I PRESUME?
3 Unforgettable Frames From the Bond Movies
James Bond has been redefining style for decades, with each movie updating its interpretation of modern aesthetics. From Sean Connery’s clean-cut suits to Roger Moore’s famous ski wear and Pierce Brosnan’s casual clothes, every interpretation of Bond shows his iconic bravado. And of course, there are the cars … oh, the cars. But the one item many people forget about is the eyewear. Bond movies have seen some of the greatest glasses of our time. Here are three of them. BORIS GRISHENKO While droves of people aren’t going to mimic the Russian computer technician from “Goldeneye,” his eyewear is undoubtedly a defining trait of his character. The round spectacles worn by Alan Cumming were indicative of a trend happening in the late ‘90s. The brand DKNY embraced the movement and made quite a few frames that had small, circular lenses. MAX ZORIN Christopher Walken has had many iconic roles, but portraying a Bond villain will always hold a unique place in any actor’s filmography. “A View to a Kill” shows classic Walken as he portrays a former Russian KGB agent whose objective is to cause a massive earthquake that will wipe out Silicon Valley. While he had an eye on the San Andreas Fault, his vision was filtered through some of the coolest aviators around.
BOND’S X-RAY GLASSES When you think of Bond, one of the first thoughts that comes to mind is his gadgets. Well, in “The World Is Not Enough,” Pierce Brosnan combined a high-tech gadget with one slick pair of frames to make for a truly memorable scene. The square blue lenses he received from Q function as X-ray vision specs, which he uses to scope out the room for threats. Just as the characters in Bond movies make a statement with their eyewear, so can you. Even if you don’t wear glasses, blue-light frames are a great way to try something new. With most wearers using blue-light glasses only at work, the commitment isn’t as substantial — the second you’re finished with your workday, you take them off and head home. Whether it’s blue light or traditional lenses, reach out to us today for the latest styles. We’ll help you release your inner Bond.
