EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1969, we catch a glimpse of the future as envisioned by Polaroid. The question on everyone's mind back then was: "What will sunglasses look like in the year 2000 AD?". Two young designers took up the challenge and their innovative ideas were showcased for the first time in Britain at the Sunglasses Fair held at Londoner Hotel on Welbeck Street. One such design, called "Orbit" is beautifully modeled by Valerie St. John. This futuristic pair of shades combines style with functionality, featuring glare-eliminating polarising filters that promise to revolutionize eye protection under sunny skies. As Valerie confidently dons these cutting-edge sunglasses, one can't help but wonder what other advancements await us in the years to come. This photograph captures an exciting moment where fashion meets technology and imagination takes flight. It serves as a reminder of how our perception of accessories like sunglasses has evolved over time, reflecting not only changing trends but also our aspirations for a brighter future. Doreen Spooner skillfully immortalizes this iconic image through her lens, preserving it for generations to come. As we admire this snapshot from memory lane prints, let us appreciate both its historical significance and its timeless appeal – reminding us that even decades-old visions of tomorrow can still captivate our curiosity today.
