The Revival of Rayban Clubmasters

Ray Ban’s may be one of our favourite staple sunglasses but what we love so much about the brand is their constant ability to revive or introduce new styles and frames to keep us fashion lovers on our toes. The Clubmaster, with their typically fifties inspired style were hugely popular in the eighties and have come full circle once more for 2009. With their cool, retro appeal, they are certain to be a sure favourite this summer and whilst the vintage Clubmaster retains its classic and chic style, it has been transported into 2009 with a huge burst of colour.

The massive trend of 2009 with both accessories and clothing is an injection of bold colour, and Ray Ban have typically pre-empted this and now in addition to the classic black-and-tortoise shell Clubmasters, you can choose from other vibrant colours such as devil red and light gold. Clubmasters will suit a skinny jeans, heels and t-shirt look right through to a more urban street style and they are already a hit with quite the eclectic and trendy crowd with celebrities such as Pete Doherty, Diane Kruger and Robin Pattinson huge fans.

In fact, Rayban are so proud of their revived Clubmasters that back in December they hosted a party to celebrate the launch. Held in New York’s Bowery Ballroom, indie bands Black Kids, Ipso-Facto and White Williams in keeping with the Clubmaster theme, reinterpreted their favourite ‘50s and ‘60s songs at the legendary music hall for guests including Kevin Bacon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Johsua Jackson and Diane Kruger. Ray-Ban will also hold Clubmaster events in Beijing and Milan. These are certainly sure to be the sunglasses of the season!
