IN fashion, old is gold. Just ask any style enthusiast, and he or she will probably tell you that what’s hot back then is now cool again. This cyclical rise and fall of trends is hallmark of an industry that just loves paying homage to its past.

With regard to that, retro eyewear has slowly, but surely, made a comeback. Cat-eye silhouettes, thick plastic frames and tortoiseshell patterns – these are the elements seen frequently incorporated into current eyewear designs.
