Sunglasses are not only essential for protecting our eyes from the harmful effects of the sun's rays, but they are now a symbol of style , class and elegance .
They are one of the few accessories truly capable of showing the world our personality and, on some occasions, our wealth.
As in the case of Chopard which created the most expensive glasses in the world , for an exclusive and, obviously, wealthy clientele.

The cold season doesn't always reserve gray and rainy days for us. When the sun shines, glare can be very annoying and UV rays are always present, indeed, in certain contexts they are more intense than in summer, as happens for example on snow. Lenses of adequate size should also be preferred to prevent too much light from reaching the eyes from above or laterally and to protect them from wind and dust .
Inaugurated in December and open until 11 August 2024 at the Armani Silos in Milan, the exhibition brings together around two hundred and fifty shots that tell the story of around thirty years of fruitful and uninterrupted collaboration between the designer Giorgio Armani and the photographer Aldo Fallai.
The exhibition spans the decades with great freedom, to tell the story of today.

Twenty-five years have passed since the first episode of Sex and the City , the iconic series of the late nineties, chosen as an alternative showcase by fashion houses.
Among the most popular outfits in the series, the creations of Jimmy Choo , one of the most famous fashion designers in the world, also appear .
His creations, characterized by a glamorous and sophisticated style, range from shoes to handbags, but do not leave out essential accessories for the "look" such as sunglasses .
There are many theories on the origin of the "discount day", now widespread throughout the world.
Black Friday sales have even become an index used by analysts to forecast Christmas sales.

When sunlight reflects on large flat surfaces, such as snow, sand or asphalt, it generally causes an annoying glare effect which prevents the correct perception of objects and colours, and which can also be dangerous in certain situations, for example for those who are driving.
