bug eye sunglasses trend
The number of cases requiring serious cosmetic surgery to repair damaged ears has risen alarmingly of late. Patently the ear lobe tissue is very delicate and can’t handle seven pounds of metal and jewels dangling off them! Who’d have thought it!
But this warning, despite garnering a lot of news coverage, isn’t going to change anything in the fashion world. The risk of needing cosmetic surgery on a damaged ear is unlikely to put off the fashion icons and trendsetters. Hollywood actresses and models are in and out of their plastic surgeon’s office on a monthly bottom anyway. And it’s not like they are going to struggle with the surgery bill on this one. They will still show up on TV and in glossy magazines with supersized designer 7-inch drop chandeliers which weigh a ton, but look glamorous. And while they do, fashion conscious young women and girls are always going to follow suit and buy the high street equivalents.Frankly the notoriety from all this press is probably going to make them even more popular with young girls looking to make that rebellious fashion statement.
...The stuff: The museum showcases pairs made for celebs such as Elton John and Bono and the label’s ever-expanding line of designer collabs, like frames with Canadian-born, London-based Erdem’s signature floral fabrics moulded inside the acetate ($600), Margiella’s oversized bug-eye sunglasses ($620–$730) and a new selection of frames made by Giles Deacon. Out front, the selection is organized by colour—the mean price for a pair of glasses ranges from $470 to $480, and sunglasses are sold for $500 and up.
The shoppers: Jeanne Beker loved the Margiella frames on a recent visit, while Dan Levy tweeted his disappointment at missing the opening. Internationally, aforementioned stars like Elton John (who allegedly bought so many products at the Knightsbridge location they had to design a special larger bag just for him) and Bono are fans. Expect to see these on socialite types (if Suzanne Rogers needed glasses, we don’t think she’d be going to LensCrafters) and their partners.
