other info

• GOGGLES were launched in the late 1970's by the
  
  British designer, Oliver Goldsmith. Have a look at the
  
  (award winning) David Bailey directed tv ad from 1979.
  
  If you look closely towards the end of the ad, this pair
  
  appears in the same colourway, dating it to one of the
  
  earliest Goggles. Metallic green accents on matte silver
  
  colour this flash-forward design. The lilac gradient
  
  lenses making a nice contrast. Futuristic references
  
  in the large format and angular, spare detail. Not in
  
  great condition, but then space travel does take its
  
  toll.
