Two of the 20th century’s biggest icons in film and fashion have been reimagined in eyewear collections from British eyewear supplier Brulimar Optical. James Dean and Marilyn Monroe both feature in their eponymous collections, each with ophthalmic and sunglass lines.
The Marilyn Monroe range is inspired by her mysterious screen persona and the scandalous costumes worn in the 1959 film Some Like It Hot.
These themes have been realised in not only the silhouettes within the collection, but the materials too, with whimsical translucent acetate and revealing patterns. The sunglass collection will be limited to 926 models to reflect the year she was born and all profits will be donated to the orphanage where Monroe grew up as a child.

The James Dean line is comprised of quintessential retro-inspired silhouettes for both men and women and is influenced by Dean’s passion for motor racing – with chequered flags on the inner end tips of the temples.
