This is the cover of Vogue April 15 issue 1968 (back when they published two a month in April) The glasses are Oliver Goldsmith a legend in classic eyewear if ever there was one. These were proclaimed by Vogue to be the 'Sunglasses of the Summer' and I love the bold colour. I've always been slightly wary of sunglasses where you can see pretty much right through a light coloured tint (Bono - you have corrupted my mind and burnt my eyes with your existence) because I think they can look creepy but here they totally work.
Incidentally Oliver Goldsmith has an original vintage collection and many of their current designs are based on classic originals, although the pair on the Vogue cover doesn't appear to have been reproduced. Check out the glasses above I nearly freaked when I saw them...drool.
Inside the magazine there is a nine page illustrated fashion spread (I can't imagine Vogue doing such a thing now) but I just wanted to post this image because it's so vibrant and the girls are rocking the glasses on top of that bike..don't you think it looks modern?
