Bonnie 201

Diane von Fürstenberg is a famous American fashion designer who also has her own line of glasses. My collection hosts a few of her glasses including this discrete pair shown by Bonnie. The lenses are of interest because they are trifocals. This lens type was a clever invention of the early 1960's but it's seldom seen nowadays because of the popularity of progressives.

The lenses in these Cazal glasses are progressives with a reading add of +3.00, indicating that the first owner of the glasses was probably a lady in her sixties. Whoever she was, she must have been a lady with a love for extravaganza. Cazal glasses are "not for the fainthearted".

To the best of my knowledge, Cazal started designing and manufacturing glasses in the early 1980's. They are still among the best brands. Their glasses were recently described as follows:
"The most radical designs in the world. The brand that all rap stars, pop singers, extravagant personalities use. The brand with the most iconic models since ever".
The striking pair shown here by Bonnie was acquired in Germany, a few years back. The glasses were not used in any of my previous photo shoots.
