James Hetfield Sunglasses - Prada SPR07F


James Hetfield has been spotted wearing his favorite pair of sunglasses all over town and sad but true, they are Prada. You wouldn't think he would be spotted wearing Prada, but even metal heads need their bling it seems. I guess when you've sold millions and gone through the ringer a few times, nothing else matters.


If you'd like to get one for yourself, it's going to be tough as they are a hard pair to find. The closest available is the PR 13Is:

House of Diehl Sunglasses 2010


I've come across and interesting set of sunglasses which may interest those on the outer ridges of the fashion spectrum. House of Diehl is a very New York based collaboration between Mary Jo Diehl and Roman Milišić. It's on the avant garde side of things as many of these pairs are unwearable, even by fashion show standards seeing that many pairs have holes through them or are covered in paint or mirrors.

House of Diehl Sunglasses - Love this pair






These feel like they are ripped out of the 80's


The most wearable pair



Despite how unwearable they are, it's an interesting take on the basic Ray-Ban Wayfarer shape which you really think couldn't be done in a new way. Adding studs to the lenses of sunglasses in something I've never come across.

Love them or hate them?

Snoop Dogg Sunglasses in California Gurls Video


After a huge build up the video for Katy Perry's California Gurls is out.  It looks like a sexed-up Willy Wonka's factory with Snoop Dogg as the king.  Highlights are Katy Perry taking her kit off half way through and a huge ginger bread man finding pleasure in being eaten.  It looks like a fun place.


Snoop Dogg Sunglasses


I have had a few questions about Snoop Dogg's sunglasses in the video but I have not found out what they are yet.  He has been wearing a lot of Serious Pimp sunglasses but I'm sure these are not from them.  They might have been made just for the video like most of the clothes and outfits.  If you have a tip, please leave it in the comments.  Thanks!

Tom Cruise Sunglasses in Knight and Day


Tom Cruise returns to the summer film world for the first time since 2006 with Knight and Day.  He plays a secret agent on the run from the men in the black suits and runs into Cameron Diaz along the way.  It seems as though there are a few films out like this now - playful hitman type movies.  He is wearing two pairs of sunglasses in the film


Tom Cruise sunglasses in Knight and Day - Ray-Ban 3025???


This pair is identical to Ray-Ban 3025 aviators but I can't be sure as there is no "Ray-Ban" logo on the frame.  Of course he has been known for wearing them before (Cocktail, Top Gun).



Available at Amazon





This pair if definitely Persol 2931.  It's a very small frame and don't seem to fit his character well.  







Get it at Amazon










It's yet to be seen if this movie can match his summer success of the past.  If not, we'll have to wait for Mission Impossible 4.

Russell Brand Sunglasses in Get Him to the Greek Movie


Russell Brand's typecasted career continues in Get Him to the Greek, playing an out of control rock and roll star.  The character played by Jonah Hill needs to get him to the U.S. in time for a concert, and things go wrong.  When I first saw the trailer I didn't expect much but I've heard good things, and it is well reviewed.

Russell Brand's sunglasses in the airport scene are Alexander McQueen's 4099.  It's a rare nice pair from the latest collection and, of course, very rock star.  The movie is in theaters now.

Lady Gaga Sunglasses in Alejandro Video


With the newest Lady Gaga video being released, I was anticipating another pair designed by her Haus of Gaga (her designer friends who make accessories for her) and they delivered.    There are two different pairs in the video and the first one we will look at is definitely the Haus of Gaga pair.  They've given us razor blade sunglasses, sunglasses made of burning cigarettes and flashing lights.  And now for something completely different.


Lady Gaga Sunglasses Alejandro Video


The pair is actually part of a headpiece the sits on top of her head (which you can see later in the video).  It seems as there are even lenses inside of them.  The arms which connect all of the pieces together are lit up and the "lenses" can be pulled back which Gaga does a few times in the video.  I'm still trying to figure out what significance they have to the meaning of the video, if any.


I need a better picture of these right now

The second pair is of yet unknown.  I have been scouring the tubes looking for it but I've had no luck.  If anyone has any idea, please leave a comment below.

NOOKA Mercury Sunglasses


NOOKA is known for their watches so it is a kind of surprising to see eyewear from them.  They have character their focus on creative design into this new territory, as the Mercury sunglasses look very well thought out.

The frame is large and the colors are bold.  It's a simple shape but is certainly eye-catching.  I hope to see more from them.

Mykita Bernhard Willhelm Franz 24k Sunglasses


Mykita's Franz sunglasses have done well and being friends with Bernhard Willhelm, they've decided to work together on a pair of sunglasses. The result is a 24k version of Franz, which fits with Bernhard's Olympic design theme lately. The mirrored gold lenses are incredible.

Mosley Tribes Lyndel Beaded Sunglasses


Mosley Tribes announced the release of another version of the Lyndel sunglasses.  This time they haven't just changed the color; the temples have been totally beaded in a traditional Native American pattern.  The pattern makes a fair subtle frame really eye-catching.  It's a very attractive frame but I think it might be hard to pull off.

Mosley Tribes Beaded Lyndel Sunglasses


The Beaded Lyndel will be available in July 2010 at Oliver Peoples shops.

Tyga Sunglasses in G-Shit Video


Tyga has released yet another generic and low-budget video. This is one of those videos where it is just a bunch of people partying around a pool. However, this time it looks like they use low-grade home video cameras to shoot it.  This kind of video got old in 1995.  It looks like things are bottoming out for Chris Brown.  The sunglasses, however, are looking nice.




Chris Brown Sunglasses - Super Sideviews


Tyga - Super Francis Ciccio





This video is almost like an advertisement for Super sunglasses, as both Tyga and Chris Brown are wearing them. Tyga goes back and forth between Louis Vuitton Bindi sunglasses and Super Sunglasses Ciccio in black and gold. Chris Brown's sunglasses are Super sunglasses Sideview.


Super Francis Ciccio available at Amazon (follow link):

Lil' Wayne Sunglasses in Knockout Video


Despite being incarcerated, Lil' Wayne has managed to released a series of singles and videos.  The latest video is for the song "Knockout", from the critically panned album Rebirth.  The video features Nicki Minaj as Wayne's "love" interest.  The song, and the album, are a depart from the usual Lil' Wayne hip-hop.  I appreciate him trying something new, but this one misses the mark huge.  I think he should stick with Lolipops.

The sunglasses he is wearing here and Super Sunglasses Flat Top.  They are a great pair and have become really popular with rappers.  Get a pair at Amazon:
