These Lennon glasses are perfect for your next vogue shoot.

Tearshades or occasionally called Granny Glasses, were a type of psychdellic wire-rim sunglasses worn purely for aesthetic reasons by members of the 1960s counterculture. Pop icons such as Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, John Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Boy George and Ozzy Osbourne all wore teashades.

The original teashade design was made up of medium-sized, perfectly round lenses, supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and a thin wire frame. When teashades became popular in the late 1960s, they were often eleaborated: Lenses were eleborately coloured, mirrored, and produced in excessively large sizes, and with the wire earpieces exaggerated.
