A Shaded View of Fashion

Now let’s not get off on the wrong foot. I love sunglasses, nothing better than picking out the perfect pair of shades to complete an outfit that’s going to tear up the streets; however, the amount of designers manufacturing sunglasses nowadays has been getting absolutely insane. I mean come on, I don’t even know if there is enough room for all of them! The shades keep piling in, stores are stocking up, and designers simply can’t get enough of their unstoppable “creativity”. I understand that if you see someone else with bills flying through their fingertips you’re going to want a piece of that success, but let’s think of some alternate ways keep the cash flowing in. Designers need to stop producing eyewear just for the hell of it.

Thakoon and Jeremy Scott? Really? Everyone please stop allowing them to think this is okay! We’re going to get to a point where designing sunglasses is a leisure activity. Their loosing their edge, their unpredictability and ultimately, the desire they use to attract their consumers. The amount of shades are making them too accessible and completely boring. Sorry to report the newsflash designers, but not everyone’s got the skill to craft shades; please, leave it to the professionals.
