info Made by Optyl who also made many other top brands under licence including Dunhill, Carrera and Paloma Picasso, this pair is late 1970's and is one of the earliest Diors we've had to offer. Looks to be same period as this Dior ad from 1977, where they talk about the Optyl being in, "...frosted tones.". This material lends itself to smooth, organic shapes and sinuous slots and slices in frames. Dior probably used Optyl to its best advantage and the elevated CD logo on each arm adds an appropriately subtle touch. And if you are interested, we've written more about the devel- opment of the optyl material and brand here. — klasik |
