Design appears to not have a time reference. There is a never-ending circle of design. Ideas bounce off from creator to creator, changing ever so slightly as to appear new. These new concepts are seen as trends in the fashion world. Trends come and go, but are primarily based from pre-existing fashion styles. For example, the famous Ray bans Wayfarer sunglasses burst into the fashion limelight around the 1950s-1960s. However, their sales and popularity heavily declined in the 1970s. They made a slight turnaround during the 1980s following famous movies such as the Risky Brothers. Finally, after almost fifty years of in and out wayfarer popularity, they made a remarkable comeback during the mid to late 2000s. This is an example of the never-ending circle of trends. With the help of celebrities and famous icons, trends mark their place in society. The specific icons, celebrities, of society pave way for the trendiness of various generations.
Although the sunglasses first appeared in the 1950s, people of the current era see them as a new style, where as people of the 1950s era views it as a generational fashion comeback. This indicates that to different generations, newness and trendiness can possibly resemble entirely two different concepts. Trends are deeply dependent on past generational fashion and ideas. They come and go as the hierarchies of celebrities reintroduce them into society. Thus there is no pin pointed time for design in society. The round figure design follows connects new and old time together as one, in hopes that people of all era’s may share a common piece of ancient society.
