Doing a bit of surfing of the Intertubes I stumbled across these bad boys from Maison Martin Margiela.<\/p>\n

\"Maison
Maison Martin Margiela’s Crazy Car-Windscreen Style Sunglasses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This Belgian fashion designer<\/span> has maintained a notoriously low profile throughout his career; he has never had his picture taken and hides backstage after his fashion shows.\u00a0 Getting an interview with the man himself is like trying to build a life-sized Empire State Building entirely out of Lego in the middle of an earthquake, since any media contact with the designer is via a fax machine alone.<\/p>\n

Martin Margiela’s designs revolt against the luxurious fashion world with garments of oversized proportions such as long arms and seams and hems on the outside, a style which can be clearly seen in these crazy sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Now I won’t lie, I did enjoy the recent Sacha Baron Cohen yuck-fest of a movie that was Br\u00fcno<\/strong>, I laughed and laughed until my jaw ached, but I don’t know much about fashion.\u00a0 It seems to me, that these single lens sunglasses are designed to make a statement and probably only one that will be seen on the catwalk.\u00a0 They seem completely impractical in the real world; I mean where the hell does your nose go?\u00a0 The tiny nose-piece (see insert) must rest on the tip of your nostrils.\u00a0 I would imagine these sunglasses would fly from your face as soon as you turn your head.<\/p>\n

Correct me if I’m wrong, but looking at the front view of these so-called sunnies the only thing missing is a set of windscreen wipers!<\/p>\n

More Crazy Martin Margiela Sunglasses<\/h2>\n

Okay, I’m guessing Martin Margiela doesn’t refer to these sunglasses as ‘Crazy’ himself, but while we’re on the subject I also found these…<\/p>\n

\"More<\/p>\n

Although I can’t see myself wearing these nutty shield style sunglasses there is something a bit more acceptable about them.\u00a0 I guess it’s because they look a bit like some of the mad plastic headgear worn by the dancers in a Kylie Minogue music video<\/strong> or something out of the movie Minority Report<\/strong>.\u00a0 There’s something very Sci-Fi about these, they really do belong in a movie or music video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
