It might be hard to believe but, from a purely fashion perspective, the eighties were indeed good for something. The best example of sustainable stylistics beyond cliché-laden opulence in pink is, for example, the foldable sunglasses. This almost forgotten relic from a practical world is being brought back to life by the Brits from Burberry for the autumn/winter collection of their Brights eyewear line.
The colourways of the chic foldable shades follow the current trend towards an expressive use of colour and with beetroot, opal, lime, pollen, citrus, spearmint, turquoise and fuchsia are anything but retro. But fear not, the more stubborn colourphobes amongst you can opt for the classic black and white models.
