The Mystery Issue
Al Pacino's line in Scarface (1983) is often used to talk about the transparency of emotions that the eyes convey, which is why a pair of sunglasses helps to maintain the mystery.
It's no wonder that most celebrities don't go out without a pair of sunglasses, the basic kit for remaining incognito in the eyes of the paparazzi, they say. The truth is that they can rarely hide. Maybe it's not about concealment; maybe it's just about protection from the sun. Maybe it's not to blend in, but to stand out. Maybe it's not to go unnoticed, maybe it's to look incredible in a photograph taken in absentia - which is often the case. We don't know. It's a mystery.
Stranger Things.
There are things stranger than going out in the street wearing one of these glasses. But few that are as cool.
Back to the future.
What's to come may still be unknown, but we already know that these glasses have a rightful place on our wish list.
Psycho.
There's nothing like a classic piece to maintain elegance. A timeless reference is always better than giving into style uncertainties.
