Luckily, there’s one in every color that you can Knockaround.

WTF!?: Hayden Christensen….Again

Corey Moran — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:06:07 +0000

It seems like every time I do a Fuck Ups it’s always about Hayden Christensen, but for good reason! He was spotted with his “style editor” (HA!) girlfriend Rachel Bilson at the French Open, and for being the boy toy of a style editor (again I use this term looser than Courtney Love’s skin) you’d think he’d look a lot better than he does. Now I know there is a Wayfarer craze currently going on, but people have to realize that they aren’t for everyone. Not that Hayden looks good to start, but now he looks like the demon spawn of Jack Osbourne and Neil Patrick Harris. God I hate celebrities.

Oliver Peoples x Zooey Deschanel Sunglasses

Corey Moran — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:33:56 +0000

Oliver Peoples decided to team up with the hipster princess Zooey Deschanel to design a few pairs of sunglasses. The shades are very Wayfarer-esque, but I don’t think anyone is really suprised by that at all. I think the glasses look great, but I think that the sunglasses market needs a make over. I’m concerned at how limited your options are when it comes to styles. I have been in the market for a new pair of shades since my Marc Jacobs from last year have taken quite the beating. Upon shopping around, I have realized I only really have two options, Wayfarers (no thanks!) or Aviators (I look dumb in 99% of them). BUMMER! Let me know if you indies have any suggestions.

Wayfarers for the Creative or the Control Freak

Andy Wass — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:00:21 +0000

Like Adidas, Vans, and even Fendi before them, Ray-Ban has jumped on the custom color bandwagon.

So if you can’t quite find a pair in your color, next year you can get the Colorize Kit: white Wayfarers, paint markers, and even little stencils.

No word yet on the price of the kit, but we know Kanye’s already pre-ordering 20.

WayFerers = FaceVomit

“Many a poem, many a song, many an ode has been written about the human face, but I have yet to read one that suggests it might be improved by the addition of a pair of wonkily shaped plastic glasses in some kind of neon colour.”
