fresh summer styles arrived today at still life from the sunglasses legends at ray-ban. we started with ray-ban last summer and had a lot of fun hooking victoria up with one of the most recognized and reliable sunglasses brands in the world, and the sleek frames are back in stock for spring/summer 2011 on the west coast with today's arrival.

founded in 1937 by bausch & lombray-ban is arguably the premier sunglass manufacturer in the world today. trusted by the united states army air corps, the ray-ban aviator was developed for pilots in world war 2 and gained popularity when general douglas macarthur landed on the beach in the philippines and photographers snapped pictures of him wearing the sunglasses.

in the decades since the company launched, ray-ban has modernized their product line. the introduction of the ray-ban wayfarer in the 1960s was a huge step forward, and propelled the brand to international fame with audrey hepburn's wearing of the plastic framed style in breakfast at tiffany's. hollywood fell in love with the ray-ban wayfarer, and since tiffany's the lightweight, strong plastic trapezoid frame has been seen on just about any movie star, musician or politician worth styling yourself after. check the pics to the right to see currently available unisex ray-ban styles at still life, and take a minute to watch the fun series of videos ray-ban produced showcasing spring/summer 2011.
