Johnny Depp in Nick of Time

Released in 1995, Johnny Depp wore classic vintage round eyeglasses in the thriller Nick of Time where he played Gene Watson, a widowed accountant facing deadly schemes and races against time to save his daughter. His clear round eyeglasses perfectly accentuated his masculine facial features and helped achieve a nerdy office look for his character.

Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

This all time favorite movie starring Johnny Depp is surely one for the books! He definitely deserved a standing ovation for his crazy antics and brilliant performance. This hilarious movie revolves around a psychopath lawyer Dr. Gonzo and Johnny Depp as an oddball journalist in a pair of classic Ray-Ban RB 3138 Shooter Aviator sunglasses as they take on a crazy level of wackiness while traveling to Las Vegas across the Nevada desert high on drugs (definitely not a movie for the kids!). These unique vintage aviator sunglasses feature a small ring in the center between the lenses for more accurate target shooting, hence the model name Shooter. Now tell me, how many times have you seen someone wear sunglass like these?

Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow is Tim Burton’s American Gothic supernatural movie released in 1999 starring Johnny Depp. This chilling movie is surely  perfect for a Halloween night movie marathon. The story follows Johnny Depp as an unconventional New York police officer named Ichabod Crane as he investigates a series of murders by a mysterious headless horseman in Sleepy Hollow Village. Johnny Depp wearing steampunk eyewear became really famous for its spooky and one-of-a-kind design. This crazy eyewear features clunky spectacles designed to realize director Burton’s eccentric vision to create a 1799 set and regard the functional inventions of that era. Julbo’s 010 Vermont Classic is the closest resemblance of the eyewear to date.

As crazy as the visual set, this movie has won many awards including an Oscar for best in art direction. The famous eyewear was said to contribute to its success as it perfectly represented Johnny Depp’s futuristic character who is geeky, unconventional, and goes against the norm doing everything in his own ways.
