Ksubi Sunglasses 2011 Photos


Ksubi sunglasses are always something to report about, take a good look at and wear if you've got the bank.  Their claim to fame is their jeans, but Ksubi's sunglasses are often very nice.  Sometimes they go to far with originality and make almost unwearable styles, but it seems with the 2011 line they might hit the mark.  Here we have the first pictures of the 2011 line.  I would like more detailed pictures, but they will come later.







Ksubi show some interesting shapes here and, as always, their advertisements are great.

Tom Ford 2010 Sunglasses - Autumn/Winter Campaign


Tom Ford's Autumn/Winter collection should be available soon and I recently saw the photo shoot for it.  It's a little different than previous campaigns.  There are attacks from crows happening here, in what may be Hitchcock references.  The styles are similar to what we've seen before - elegant, minimal frames, large lenses.  The male model is Nicholas Hoult, who played in Tom Ford's movie "A Single Man".  The woman is Freja Beha Erichsen, a Danish model.

Tom Ford Sunglasses Ad Campaign 2010 Winter/Fall



These frames are not yet available on the Tom Ford site, but should be coming out soon.  Like previous Tom Ford sunglasses, expect the prices to start around $250.


Tom Ford sunglasses are available at Frames Direct:

What do you think?  Are these "Tom Ford" sexy?  Do the crows do it for you?

Victoria Beckham Gold Sunglasses with Cutler & Gross


Victoria Beckham sunglasses have not impressed me much up to now.  Making a good choice in teaming up with Cutler & Gross (one of my favorite brands), she has released an 18k gold frame which is simply exquisite.  The frame is massive and the lenses are the same.  Obviously a big fan of the oversized frames, this is the most over-the-top from her collection.

Victoria Beckham 18k Sunglasses




The frame seems to be inspired by the latest group of gold-plated sunglasses.  Their style is in no way subtle and neither is the price.  At about $745, these will set you back a big.  They are limited edition.

Are you decadent enough for these?  Is this just too much?  Is there a 'too much' with sunglasses?

George Clooney Sunglasses in The American Movie


George Clooney stars in "The American", a film about a hit-man on his last job that runs into trouble.  I'm always interested in what George is doing, but sadly this plot seems to have been done a few times before.  Maybe with famed photographer Anton Corbijn as director, we will see some interesting still shots and nice sets.  At least with the two of them the movie will look good.



Mr. Clooney wears two pairs of sunglasses in the film.  The first one...

... I cannot figure out.  There are no distinctive markings of any kind.  They are just a regular pair of sunglasses, though I'm sure they are name brand.  If you know what they are, please let me know in the comments below.


UPDATE(Sept 3): These are Ermenegildo Zegna sunglasses. The model is SZ_3174.



The second pair...



... I know.  George Clooney's sunglasses here are Persol 2883s sunglasses.  They are not one of the most popular Persol styles, but that's a good thing.  George Clooney has been known to wear Persol sunglasses in different films including Oceans 12.


You can get a pair of the Persol's below:

Sylvester Stallone Sunglasses in The Expendables


Sylvester Stallone takes another shot at directing with The Expendables, which has literally the best cast ever for an action movie, just as their promo lines say.  I haven't seen the film but it looks like a B movie that wishes it were an A movie.  Either way, it's kicking ass at the box office and I've heard from some people that it's not bad.  Also, Sylvester Stallone's sunglasses have been mentioned.



He is wearing a fitting pair for his role - the Ray-Ban 3029 Outdoorsman II.  They are hard to make out from the trailer but you can make out the top ridge in the still photo.


Get a pair for yourself below(so cheap):

Pitbull Sunglasses in I Like It - Enrique Iglesias


The most unlikely match in pop has happened and everyone is loving it.  Covering both extremes of the masculinity scale, Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull have collaborated together to make a song, called "I Like It".  It's near the top of the charts now and it's been a long time since we've seen Enrique there, though Pitbull was ruling the world all last year.  It's a catchy song and will maybe relaunch Enrique's career in the U.S.




Pitbull does what he does in the video, calling himself a mix of Tiger Woods and Jesse James.  He's the nastiest dude out there and loves it.  I think it's working for him.  Pitbull's sunglasses in the video are Oakley Dispatch sunglasses.  He's been seen wearing them since last year and brought them to the set.  It's a safe style that should be popular for a long time.

Romain Kremer Mykita Sunglasses 2011 - Gordon


The French designer Romain Kremer has teamed up again with Mykita for another interesting pair of sunglasses.  Like we've seen with other designers lately, it's almost a pair of goggles, including the side windows reminiscent of something my grandfather used to wear over his glasses, though his were not yellow.  I think they are an nice match to Romain Kremer clothes.



They should be available for Spring/Summer 2011.


Would you actually wear these?  Do you need the space age clothes to do that?

Taio Cruz Sunglasses in Dynamite Video


Taio Cruz is once again at the top of the charts with the release of "Dynamite".  The song follows up his highly successful "Break Your Heart".  He's already a music star and might become known in the fashion world as well.  His label Rokstarr sells clothes, sunglasses and other accessories and they are all getting exposure in his videos.


Problem is, I can't find any evidence of these sunglasses on the Rokstarr site, or anywhere. The sunglasses from the "Break Your Heart" video are on the site, but these are not.  I can't imagine that he would wear something that is not his own, so maybe they are an upcoming pair?  I've seen him wearing them also at the T4 on the Beach event in the UK.  If I'm wrong on this, please let me know in the comments.

Martin Margiela 8 Hybrid Aviator Sunglasses


Maison Martin Margiela continues to release innovative, interesting and eye-catching eyewear and the Hybrid 8 is no exception.  Similar to a recent model, it is a mixed of a acetate frame and a standard aviator.  I've seen nothing like it from anyone else, like all other Martin Margiela sunglasses.  It's exciting every time something is released by them since so much in the industry is a direct repeat of something safe.

Martin Margiela Hybrid 8 Aviator Sunglasses



Innovative yet classy


There are two styles available - Brown lenses (gold trim) with tortoise acetate and black acetate with blue lenses (silver trim).  

Would you wear these?  Are they just too much to wear on a normal day?

Katy Perry Sunglasses in Teenage Dream Video


Katy Perry's domination on the pop world continues with the poetic "Teenage Dream".  It's a follow up California Gurls and has a lot of the same good stuff, just without the D O Double G.  Is this going to replace California Gurls as the hit of the summer?  Is that even possible?  

Katy Perry Sunglasses in Teenage Dream Video


Katy is wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarers 2140 throughout the whole video.  They work on just about everyone and of course very well on her.  They just add to the magic of this track.

Inuit Inspired Sunglasses - Ijaaks Eyewear


Inspiration comes from everything for art.  For sunglasses it's often just retro fashion.  In today's case, it's extremly retro.  Theses sunglasses are inspired by the eyewear that the Inuit used to wear when travelling out into the blinding snow, which was probably everyday for 10 months of the year.  They come in a variety of colors and shapes.

Inuit Eyewear - Ijaak


I don't know what the implications of this are for actual eyewear, because your eyes are not protected from UV, but I assume they cut out glare quite well.  For more info, check out the link below.

DJ Khaled Sunglasses in Fed Up video


A reader recently asked me what sunglasses were featured in the video for Fed Up by DJ Khaled.  I know the sunglasses DJ Khaled are wearing, but not sure about Usher's.  DJ Khaled is wearing a nice looking pair for guys and follows the trend in the last few years of having translucent frames.  The track is loaded with stars as it also features Drake and Young Jeezy.  It was popular in January and was part of the Victory album which came out in March.



DJ Khaled's sunglasses in the video are Louis Vuitton Apparence transparent sunglasses.  They have the logo written into the temples and the logo imprinted in gold on the top of the frame.


Does anyone know what Usher's sunglasses are?  If so, please leave a comment below!
