Mitch Glazer’s latest production, US television series Magic City, is a cross between Mad Men and The Godfather. Set in a glamorous Miami Beach hotel in 1959 the show is full of beautiful people in wonderful weather, a great backdrop for fantastic period sunglasses!
Although nominated in many categories Mad Men did not come away from this year’s Emmys a winner. Pipped to the post time and again by Homeland we were disappointed our favourite vintage glasses inspiration missed out on the prize.
If you go to see Brighton Rock this weekend be sure to look out for fantastic 1950s and 60s style frames. Both the book and original 1947 film were set in the 1930s but this version, directed by Rowan Joffe and starring Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Helen Mirren and John Hurt, is set in 1960s Brighton.
