These orange Neostyle glasses enjoyed great popularity nearly half a century ago. Frames were gradually becoming larger than ever before. This had in part to do with the invention of new materials but it also reflected a general wind of change in fashion. Hippies, flower power and all the rest of it. A wave of freedom for and from the younger generation. My native Amsterdam was the perfect place to watch the process of change and to participate in it. Orange frames became fashionable in 1964 for blondes and remained so for almost a decade. The Neostyle glasses have been a favourite of many models who appreciated the simple but distinctive style.

"Oh, excuse me for the lecture, Carla. The floor is all yours"
