IN STORE RAY-BAN AVIATORS
The original ‘Pilot shades’ were developed by Ray-Ban at its inception in 1937 and were instantly adopted by the U.S. Army Air Corps to protect pilots from high altitude glare. From the early ‘60s Aviators were donned all over Hollywood, right through to the ‘80s when their mass appeal resurged with Tom Cruise skyrocketing their popularity in Top Gun. Other stars to have sported Pilot shades include John Lennon, Freddy Mercury, Hunter S. Thompson, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Axl Rose and Jim Morrison. Fashionable among aviators and the non-flying populace alike, the Ray-Ban Aviator is now one of the most copied styles of sunglasses in history, firmly entrenching their iconic status in popular culture.
