Kanye sunglasses, ver. 2.0
August 22, 2009
Just when you thought the shutter sunglasses popularized by Kanye West had finally jumped the shark, Roman Kremer and Mykita have decided to re-introduce them with a more refined sensibility.
The ROMAIN frame is cut out of 0.5 mm stainless steel and features metal shutters. The design borrows cues from traditional Inuit eyewear, which was designed solely to provide protection from dazzling sunlight and did not have conventional lenses. The very graphic and square-edged frame is inspired by the collection’s leitmotiv of protection and is reminiscent of war face paint.
