shade: TOM FORD 'PABLO' AVIATORS

This classic aviator shape is not a new look but the fit that these Tom Ford 'Pablos' afford may be. As Eyegoodies mentions, “Real sunglass history buffs will notice the influence of an old (1970?s) Ted Lapidus aviator with the plastic inserts in, and the Porsche Design Aviators (1980?s) with the plastic inserts out. The Pablo is offered in 3 colors gold/light havana (pictured above), gunmetal/dark havana, and gold/black. This is a very unique piece offering 2 different looks built into one pair of sunglasses.” The Pablo’s feature two sets of interchangeable lenses which help balance the sunshine.

MARTIN MARGIELA S/S 09 SUNGLASSES

Le Maison de Martin Margiela has just released images of their Spring/Summer 2009 Sunglasses. The model comes in two colorways and will be available very soon.

MARTIN MARGIELA 'L'INCOGNITO' EYEWEAR

Martin Margiela brings us his first ever pair of sunglasses. They have been made in collaboration with Italian eyewear brand Marcolin. You may have noticed Pharrell wearing them in the Everyone Nose Remix video. L’incognito, is made from a solid piece of Polycarbonate. The lenses mimic the censored bar motif that the house has used in its catalogues and look-books for years.

The Martin Margiela L'Incognito sunglasses are now available from Oki-Ni.

NEON EYES: 'SUPER' SUNGLASSES

When the Italian brand Super launched last year, they were immediately snapped up by celebrities who love acid colors. (Yes, that means Kanye.) But there's more going on here than just flash: The handmade frames allow for intriguing design (exposing layers of color when the materials are cut down, like in the ones pictured), and all the glasses have Zeiss lenses. There are, of course, more understated options available than the ones pictured here, but if rainbow's your thing, you'll have to wait until next February, when these will be at Barneys, Oak, and others for $160.

TOM FORD JASON GLASSES

These Tom Ford Jason glasses give you the retro look you've been longing for during this sweltering NYC heat wave! Available at Coolframes.

SUPER 24K GOLD MIRROR LENSE WAYFARERS

Dig this... Italy's Super is back with some nice new styles on their Wayfarer. This time the brand introduces the 24K Gold Lenses on white frames as pictured. The 80's classic, that doesn't seem to be leaving any time soon, were hand-made in Italy with Zeiss lenses. Also available in black.

Caliroots will be releasing them tomorrow.

DITA MIDNIGHT SPECIAL SUNGLASSES FOR LUPE FIASCO

Dita made 10 red versions of their popular Midnight Special model for Lupe Fiasco's Glow in the Dark Tour with Kanye West. To celebrate the success of the tour they decided to release the remaining 5 pieces of the style in their online store.

These are the only 5 that you will ever be able to get

your hands on. So you might wanna think fast if you

want to cop a pair.

The Return of the Wayfarer

A massive trend in 2007, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer , is not yet ready to die out. With major fashion influences like Kate Moss still wearing theirs, the vintage Ray-Ban trend has continued to 2008. The re-launch of the infamous Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses caused quite the frenzy in Tinseltown- with everyone who was anyone, donning a pair. Celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna and Kanye West had a lot to do with bringing the trend to a much wider, perhaps younger demographic.

Many are still in love with they Wayfarer style sunglasses and are not willing to let them go anytime soon, thus the new styles, sizes and shapes - RAYBAN has "colorized" the Wayfarer in a bunch of snazzy colors just in time for summer.
