Are shuttershades no longer mainstream-alt, yall?
Is there a new glasses trend that we need to be aware of?
Does n e 1 work for a design firm that is creating the next big sunglasses trend? Will it be martini glasses? I need to know if I should invest in a certain type of sunglasses stock.
Does n e 1 know if AZN glasses are going to be big in 2k10?
The Olympics in China have been really successful, so I think a lot of people are going to ‘try to be AZN’ or something like that. U know how the world is… when they see something that they think is ‘alt’, they try to align their personal brand with it. s00 annoying/inauthentic.
Does n e 1 know if white framed sunglasses are still ‘underground’/'indie’/'unique-core’?
Should I just buy some zany coloured Wayfarers and match them to my clothing?
Or should I buy sunglasses that enable me to take the lenses out for days when it isn’t sunny?
YALL.
I’M SO CONFUSED. I HATE THE TAIL-END OF TRENDS. IT’S LIKE I DON’T KNOW WHO I AM N E M0RE. SUXXX SO BAD.
N e ways…Summer is almost over… do u need to wear sunglasses in the non-summer? Or are they a summer-exclusive accessory?
r u gonna miss the Shuttershade era?
R.I.P. Kanye West. U had a good run.

My sister owns a pair of half-shutter-shades. Tho she is alt-mainstream tho. What does that say about her? I’m not “down” with the logics and guiding lines of the factors that positions you somewhere on the mainstream/alt/scene scale, even tho Tha Hipstar Ranoffs is a daily read for me. I guess Das Carles is the only true alt who understands those sort of meaningful phenomenons of life.

Damn, I guess we will all have to wait until stuttershades r ‘vintage’ right?
Carles, when does 2k8 stuff become vintage?

first of all that dad needs to solve his midlife crisis. ed hardy is not cool on anyone, especially not a 46 year old chubby man. and with the shutter shades he gets extra douche points and levels up.
+ blue framed sunglasses are hot no matter what you’re wearing.

Shutter shades are cool especially the heart shaped design. Aviators are definitely in style again this season. So cool and classic. Lovin the wayfarer design as well. just need sunny weather now :-)
