Origin of the most iconic Ray-Ban glasses in movies

The legacy of Ray-Ban stems from the need to protect the eyesight of U.S. Air Force pilots in the 1930s, when the iconic Aviator model was created. These glasses, designed to reduce glare and protect against UV rays, transcended their initial function to become an emblem of style.

From their adoption in the 1930s to their explosion on the big screen in the 1980s, the Ray-Ban Aviator has endured as a timeless eyewear model. Tom Cruise's starring role in "Top Gun" further boosted their popularity, resulting in huge sales and securing their place in fashion history.

Ray-Ban's iconic Wayfarer eyewear design, popularized in films such as "Risky Business" (1983), has also left an indelible mark on pop culture. This classic model has experienced unprecedented demand, with 360,000 pairs sold in the year of its launch alone.
