The article reflects on the author's personal experience with wearing glasses and how fashion perceptions have changed over time. The turning point came after witnessing the F/W 23 Miu Miu runway show, where designer Mrs. Prada transformed glasses from being seen as merely functional to chic and desirable accessories.
