This blog is dedicated to ladies in glasses. The vast majority of the portraits on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected. Nearly all the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.

Sohaila 038
Christian Dior gradually refined the design and materials. Here is a fine example from the early 1980's, some five years after they launched their first glasses in 1976. Again there was the problem of heavy glare in the lenses. which called for heavy editing. The lenses are minus nine, three times the model's own prescription. The posing by Sohaila is wonderful and the glasses suit her fine. This masterpiece by Dior was bought for coppers and brass at the "Waterlooplein" flea market in Amsterdam during the late 1980's.
