DESCRIPTIONAfter legendary director Howard Hawks cast Cary Grant to play opposite Katherine Hepburn in 1938’s classic screwball comedy Bringing up Baby, Grant was initially unsure about how he should play the role. Hawks told him to pattern his character after the silent film comedian Harold Lloyd. Hawks also decided that Grant’s wardrobe should include the same iconic round glasses that Lloyd had famously worn in all his films, decades earlier—for Hawks knew what the audience would intuitively grasp the moment that they spotted those frames on the screen. After so many films, Lloyd’s signature glasses served as a sort of a shorthand, signaling an intellectual leading man who was charming, physically fit and modest (to the point of being unaware of his own handsome looks). In short, the frames helped guarantee that the audience would immediately warm to Grant’s character. Akoni’s Copernico, a stylishly modern update on Grant and Lloyd’s frames, builds on cinema’s history of subliminal messaging, relying on adjustable Japanese Titanium temples, sculpted front Japanese Acetate and a technically advanced nose bridge that helps create an impressive internal titanium double rim.
