Sunglasses Trends - Rayban Wayfarers
If you were a fan of Madonna in the 80s, or even better Tom Cruise in Risky Business, then you won't have let the Ray-Bans revival escape you. The classic 'Wayfarer' style sunglasses became a celebrity staple in 2007 and a sunglasses trend in 2008, with Sienna Miller, the Olsen Twins, Nicole Ritchie and others regularly stepping out in them.

Though remembered by many younger generations as an 80s icon, the Rayban Wayfarer has a much longer history. Since 1952, they've been immortalised by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, through to Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol and Madonna. Risky Business, with Tom Cruise, revived the dying brand in the 1980s.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
