Stunna Shutter Shades
A blast from the past, the 80’s are making a fashion statement in the new millennium with the resurrection of the once popular shutter shades. The hip-hop generation has taken hold of 80’s inspired futuristic fashion, with the shutter shade craze created by international trendsetter and men’s fashion icon, Rapper Kanye West.
Debuting in this millennium in Kayne West’s Stronger video, and appearing on the Video Music Awards, shutter shades are hot for hip hop fashion followers and trendy fashionistas. Even Paris Hilton was seen sportin’ a pair of white shutter shades on the streets of Hollywood. This summer, Kanye West is taking these shades out on the road during his Glow in the Dark tour.
Inspired by 80’s fashion, the custom design was created by Alain Mikli for Kayne West, and shutter shades have had huge success as a modern fashion trend. Instead of having a lens, the shade design is characterized by its "shutter" look, which is part of the frame.
Shutter shades are suitable for both men and women with a passion for fashion. An accessory more than sunglasses, these shades have the hip-hop world in a frenzy trying to get their hands on a pair of shutter shades. Available in a rainbow of colors to compliment any outfit, a pair of shutter shades gives your look a stylish, futuristic edge. Shutter shades in gold, silver, clear and glow-in-the-dark designs have also been released. Many sunglass retailers sold out immediately after the airing of West’s video and some are still on back order, so the time is now to get your hip hop hands on a fresh pair of shades!
There’s more to fashion than clothes and shoes. Accessories can certainly top off the ultimate hip hop look. Combine a pair of new kicks, a clean shirt and pair of shutter shades, and you’re sure to get noticed in a crowd.
Shutter shades are an affordable way to complete your look, and with most pairs of shades retailing for under $30, you can’t go wrong. For a hot night on the town, put on some dark jeans, a blinged out belt, white sport coat and slide a pair of white shutter shades over your eyes in true Kayne West style, and the girls will come crawlin’.
Ladies, accessorize by putting on some flashy heels and a pair of shutter shades to coordinate the perfect girls-night-out outfit. This season is all about the accessories from blinged-out belt buckles to stylish stunna shades – these are this summer’s must haves.
