I dunno. They don't look very Miami Vicey.

No... they look kinda Grandma-ish.

I have never seen a Grandma wearing sunglasses like that. I want evidence.

Excellent Mr. Tung.

I am convinced he wears the Wayfarer. I only could not find out the model with brown tinted glass. I think because of the lighting the image does not do justice for the Wayfarer, the frame looks out of place because of it. Despite taste is personal, at this moment the Wayfarer is back and very hot and trendy in Fashion..:

Wayfarer original:

Yes, the look a bit similar. I wish we could ask on Jean Michel's blog. But I don't think we are gonna get an answer.

The frames are not the same. Take a look at the one's that Jarre is wearing and you will see that the chrome detailing on the front edges of the frames where the arms hinges are, the chrome detailing is vertical, where as the chrome detailing on the one's below are horizontal. Plus the nose peace is differant between both sets.




Now going out to buy a new anorak, clipboard and Harry Pooter style glasses

Ray-Ban is so 80's.

Just like the Yammy DX7, Elka Synthex, Roland D-50

I think you are right! Well, when I stumble onto a better picture of the mysterieus sunglasses of Jarre I will do another investigation

Did you try Ray-Ban’s official website?

http://www.ray-ban.com/

Their website comes under different countries. For example, this is the UK’s site: http://www.ray-ban.com/UK/home.asp

On that picture, doesn't they look more like this? →



Persol 9231 Ratti, Italian brand, one of the oldest in the world. Founded 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti. Link

Excellant find, they are identicle.

I see, Jarre has a set of glasses from the 'Two Ronnies' collection



For those that don't know who they are, Ronnie Corbett(left) and Ronnie Barker(right), the comedy duo from Britain who had a series during the 1970s and 1980. Barker is also known for his comic roles in the hit tv comedy series 'Porridge'.
