This season’s shades are Art inspired

The oversized Olsen girls’ 1970’s shades may finally be going back where they belong – the the ‘70’s. This season designers are using modern art as inspiration for the new crop of sunglasses. It is a bit of a combination between future chic and retro. Colors are literally eye-popping – think neon fushcias and greens – and there natural materials are being used to vie for their spot in the light. Round lenses are hitting the streets, Armani has out a very Woody Allen look in bright orange and transparent Lucite arms. Tom Fords Andrea shades are wrap around and light as a feather with full coverage. If you want to put a little glitz on your beachway walk, go for Bulgari’s special edition shades. Nothing but Hollywood glam, marbled white frames and jeweled arms. Leiber went glam as well with jewel encrusted arms on wild leopard prints. The future chic look came out in spades with Valentino’s classic aviator in wraparound frame providing full face coverage and pencil thin super light frames. Christopher Kane for Linda Farrow offered another 21st century appeal with a boxy tan frame and jeweled arms. Luella for Linda Farrow wins the award for the most mod and art inspired piece, she puts the chic black and white look on sturdy black arms with white square shaped frames surrounding dark circled lenses. There is no way you aren’t going to get noticed in those artsy shades.
