Early Dior Optyl sunglasses appeared around 1969. The lightweight thermosetting resin could be molded into substantial sculptural forms and produced with unusual transparency, gradients, and depth of color — characteristics that became signatures of Dior eyewear throughout the 1970s and 1980s. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe partnership helped establish Dior as an important name in designer eyewear, with oversized silhouettes and expressive use of color translating the drama of the couture house into eyewear.
