Robert Downey Jr has appeared as Tony Stark in nine movies in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, wearing over thirty different pairs of glasses. In Spider-Man: Far From Home his glasses became an extension of Tony Stark and a character of their own. So how did a pair of sunglasses become the star of a billion-dollar movie?

It all starts in a warehouse in California in the ‘90s.
