Who’s got the hottest tickets in town? We have! Polaroid Sunglasses has been exclusively selected to present pairs of our Best under the sun heritage collection to the performers and presenters of the BRIT Awards 2012. So on Tuesday night, we’ll be rubbing shoulders with the exceptionally talented musical artists who have been nominated for these highly coveted Awards.
Because the BRITs are so sought after, we knew only the very best would do. We’ve chosen pairs of Polaroid 1980 Wave and 1980 Image from our heritage collection to present to the likes of Adele, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Rihanna, Coldplay and Bruno Mars.
For women, Polaroid Wave sunglasses are true statement frames, with large teardrop lenses for a dramatic look. Polaroid Image sunglasses are a real male celebrity favourite. With big frames and graduated lenses, they’re bang on-trend today. And, from every sale from our Best under the sun collection, Polaroid will be make a donation to international charity Sightsavers, helping fund their work to eliminate avoidable blindness in some of the world’s poorest countries.
The awards ceremony, presented by James Corden, will be held at The O2 Arena in London for the second year running. Read more…
The British Academy Film and Television Awards (BAFTA) is a huge supporter of the film and television industry. And to win one of these coveted awards is a real achievement.

Adam was crowned Orange Wednesdays Rising Star after the public voted him their favourite actor. Other actors competing for the title included Thor star, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris O’Dowd from Bridesmaids.

Congratulations to Adam, and keep wearing those Polaroids!
