Emilia 140

In 1967 it became noticeable that glasses frames became bigger than before. Over the next decade, the frames became bigger and bigger and this culminated in the late 1970's. I remember the older generation saying, "these are not glasses but shop windows!". Fashion magazines warned their readers not to follow the trend "blindfolded", saying that "not every woman looks great in huge frames". Of course the authors were right, but it was a feast to walk the streets and enjoy the sightings of umpteen shop windows. Here Emilia poses in what may be called a compromise. Shop windows? Yes, definitely. Huge frame? No. Rather giant contact lenses :).
