info

You may know Ultra from their Goliath and Goliath II frames,

having been made famous by Run DMC's Darryl McDaniels,

thereby giving them legendary status. We're guessing Sudan

not as well known, unless it was worn by Mrs. McDaniels and

we haven't heard about it. Ultra were a brand by Americans,

Palm Optical, who specialised in the importation and distribution

of European frames. It was Palm who discovered Cazal Eyewear,

from Germany, and first brought their designs to the USA in

the late 1970's. At the same time they introduced their own line

of luxury eyewear - the Ultra Collection - and the Goliaths and

Sudan are from that range, these made in an optical factory here

in England. The out-there European style of Cazals and Ultras

set them apart from more timid American options, and their

outlandish sizings were matched by hefty price tags; a cult

following thus began, coveting their exclusivity and rarity.

Sudan is ultra-large, so the timid should not apply. Added

to that the rhinestones and stud work and you've got some

serious Hollywood eyewear here. Don't know who is Brandy -

credited on the inside temple as the designer - but what a gal.
