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 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. The Rising Star Award recognises the best up-and-coming actors and actresses in film and is the only award presented on the live on night that is voted for by the public.
Christina Hendricks presented the award to Adam at the BAFTAs in London last night, and he was later interviewed backstage by Zoë Ball.
Congratulations to Adam, and keep wearing those Polaroids!

Polaroid Eyewear loves all things retro. From our Best under the sun collection, to truly great music. And Steve, Den, Jamie and Chris, from the 1960 tribute band, The Overtures, are great musicians. So it was fantastic to see the band wearing stylish Polaroid sunglasses at a recent concert.
The Overtures have an international following, having played sell-out shows in Las Vegas and appearing on television shows with Lionel Richie. They have performed for Sir Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Diane Krall and former The Who singer, Kenney Jones. They also star in the annual Liverpool Beatles Convention, plus many other events that are too confidential to mention!

One highlight was when Sir Elton John invited them to entertain at his party to celebrate Lulu’s 60th Birthday. Elton John said at the time to GQ Magazine, “This band is amazing! They’re just the best band of their kind in the world.” You can’t get a better recommendation that that.
Following the event, Elton asked the band to support him at his New Year’s Eve show at The O2 Arena inLondon, along with Will Young and Alexandra Burke from the X-Factor.
As Alex Reid and his fiancée Chantelle Houghton announce this week that they’re going to be parents to a baby girl, Polaroid Eyewear would like to say congratulations! We’re big fans of Alex, and it was great to see him selecting a pair of Polaroid 1960 Rider when he joined us for our sunglasses collection launch last week. They look very stylish on him.
Polaroid 1960 Rider is a new pair of sunglasses from our 2012 Best under the sun heritage collection. Taking the driving force of design from the ‘60s and teaming it with modern robust materials, Rider is quickly becoming a popular frame.
