Al Jaber Trading tempts you with the new Ray-Ban Spring/Summer 2009 sun collection

Ray-Ban is identified with tradition, freedom and originality in a distinct, unmistakable style; aspects that have ensured its position as world leader in sun and optical eyewear since 1937.

It shot to prominence when it was chosen for American Air force pilots during the Second World War due to the functionality and effective protection from the sun that its glasses offered through a combination of ultra-light frames and innovative green lenses designed to absorb infrared and ultraviolet rays. The brand's new Spring/Summer 2009 Sun collection is defined by solid and two-tone coloured acetate models with titanium frames offering superb minimalistic styling on pure lines with a contemporary feel.

"Ray-Ban remains one of the world's top most brands with an age-defying appeal. Its Aviator model remains one of the world's iconic designs. The brand is incidentally the official partner with the Honda Racing F 1 Team. Its new Ray-Ban Spring/Summer 2009 Sun collection is supremely lightweight and offers superb designs with excellent finish that is sure to gain the brand yet more fans,"

said Ahmed Jaber, Managing Director, Al Jaber Trading.

Sought world over, Ray-Ban's iconic Aviator model became famous when General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beach in the Philippines in World War II, and photographers snapped pictures of him wearing them. It's a brand often worn in movies, starting with the 1961 Audrey Hepburn movie 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Will Smith too wore them in 'Men in Black' and more recently, none other than president-elect Barack Obama has been photographed wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses.
