Persol, an Italian Eyewear company founded in 1917 to make advanced lenses for Italian fighter pilots, has come a long way in its almost century long history. From the aviation experts of the First World War to the celebrities of yesterday and today, Persol has never lacked in aficionados. Lets take a look at some of Persol’s biggest fans.


George Clooney looks great in his Persol 2243-s, but there’s no suprise there.

Want his look? We can provide the sunglasses, but you have to bring the swagger.

His Ocean’s 12 costar, the timeless Julia Roberts, also loves Persols, helping to break the “boys only” image.

Julia and an unusual, closed-mouth smile.

New Hollywood loves Persol too. Here’s Justin Timberlake bringing sexy back in his favorite pair.

Justin, I love you. Let's get married and live in a wonderland of fedoras and sunglasses.

Lindsay Lohan, America’s favorite hot mess, covers her hangover grimace in this popular Persol frame.

It's ok, Lindsay. Coffee, orange juice, and a few cigarettes will set you right.

Orlando Bloom wears the same frame, but in a lighter color. And with less hopelessness on his face.

The one frame to rule them all...

Even James Bond wears Persols.

Ok, it's Daniel Craig, but whatever

Lastly, the most iconic Persol wearer, and my persomal favorite, Steve McQueen.

Look at him.  You can almost smell the manliness.

No matter what your look or style, Persol has a frame for you. Come find it at our Trunk Show this Saturday, October 22, 2011.
