Dangerous corners and unidentified speed car drivers at Brands Hatch, Kent, England are no match for the mysterious allure of dark glasses. Captured in April 1991 by artist Brian O'Connor at Jackie McLean's Jazz Cafe in London, these shades exude an enigmatic charm. From Bootsy Collins style star-shaped mirrored lens sunglasses created by elope inc between 1993-2013 to the nonchalant hazards faced by racing drivers at Brands Hatch, these dark glasses hold a captivating power. They warn us to 'look out, beautiful' as we navigate through life's twists and turns. Idris Muhammad mesmerized audiences with his soulful beats at Ronnie Scotts in London back in 1998. His eyes hidden behind those alluring lenses captured by Brian O'Connor. Larry Braggs continued this legacy in 2013 under the watchful eye of Alan John Ainsworth's lens.

The Walker Brothers donned their dark glasses while attending The Variety Club Awards at The Savoy Hotel in London while REM and Del Amitri rocked Cardiff Arms Park before a massive audience who couldn't help but be captivated by Michael Stipe's charismatic performance on that unforgettable night.
