Blindfold me

Oh my eyes! Well my little fashionistas, forget your wayfarers since the new hot trend is to use "abnormal" shades: who cares if they filter the UV rays or not? It's not as if the glasses you get from H&M or Zara or whichever other commercial brand you choose (can't really complain about my Tom Fords given that I'd paid a good deal of money on those babes, they'd better keep my eyes safe and sound from that discoball in the sky) provide you with absolute protection! The other brand of Luxottica might give you the protection you need, but come on, who has ever gone blind from a few rays of sun? Now I'm talking like an arrogant, ignorant fashion victim... let me be!

Anyways, back to the hotopic, here I'm presenting you the most to-die-for ones of the recent seasons.

1) Ksubi Limited Sunglasses
Kylie Minogue used them in her "In My Arms" video... She was going "how does it feeeel in my arms?"... I'd love to find that out, honey but in the meantime, I'd like to say I'd feel hot in your shades. The moment you get tired of them, let me know...


2) Klavers van Engelen Sunglasses

Anna Ter Haar is responsible for those rather utopic shades. They remind me of my mother's old Chanels in a twisted "melted" way. I love how they change the whole look of the models with the simple but chic black outfits. I'd like it on girls with pencil skirts or on men with skinny jeans. I have no idea if they are on sale though.



3) Castelbajac Lego Shades
If we are talking about creativity, then I should take a bow for Castelbajac. He's one of the most creative names in fashion; his creations are funky, colourful and they make the world seem a nicer place. His frequent use of Lego and cartoon characters fascinates me in a way that no other designer quite does.
These shades are so special because they are not only creative in their design but they allow creativity to the purchaser as well: you can build your own sunglasses with additional lego parts, you can turn it into a visor, a hat or you can just build a lego kingdom around your head. I'd so take the first flight to Paris to get my hands on those shades if only I had the time.

4) Peter Jensen's Rabbit Trick
Peter Jensen finally did achieve to amaze me with those shades! The design is mainly influenced by the company's logo (the same rabbit that is used on the shades), I love how he embraced the logo in his creation. It might be a little too much for everyday use however I definately see Lady Gaga wearing one of those...

5) Maison Martin Margiela Incognito Sunglasses
Margiela is such a futuristic artist that everytime he presents a new collection, I get my expectations even higher for the next one: the good thing is, he never ceases to amaze. Those glasses are so futuristic yet also wearable in a trendsetter way. Nobody'd laugh at you or condemn you for being a fashion victim, they'll only be trying to calculate the cost, the courage and the taste you've put into your decision of wearing them. Well, let me tell you beforehand: priceless.
I saw those glasses at Corso Como 10 at Milan, they were even better than an orgasm in the early hours of morning as your lover embraces you and the chilly wind touches your skin entering from the open windows (Milan gets hot as hell!).



6) Delfina Delettrez for Alain Mikli

I've always been an admirer of Alain Mikli however the collaboration with Delfina (an amazing jewellery designer) won my heart at once. This is a very unique design that brings a new point of view in means of shape and size; the evil eye detail used on the side is quite intelligent. I guess it'd look like one wears an earring, anybody has seen those on somebody else? Send me pics!
