info In 1966 Wilhelm Anger's firm in Austria obtained the licence to make eyewear for the Christian Dior brand which they secured from Tura (USA). Apparently this had a lot to do with Anger's employee - and main designer - at Viennaline, Udo Proksch, who was very much a player and mover and shaker at the time. Marc Bohan was Dior's creative director and perhaps was impressed by Proksch's - aka Serge Kirschoffer's - eyewear designs. Anger had by then patented his new plastic Optyl and most Dior frames and sun- glasses were made in this innovative material. This frame dates from 1977 as we can see it in this ad from that year - bottom left. Ours is the same linear fade but instead in a dark to lighter olive. Raised silver metal CD logos adorn the outside of each temple. A very cool and unusual shape, the frame is higher than it is wide. — klasik |
