Not Cool : Romain Kremer for Mykita Shutter Shades


I think they missed the window of opportunity to drop these one Kanye album ago. The whole shutter shade fad was over 2 weeks after it started. But i guess the good folks at Mykita decided to give it a shot anyway. French designer Romain Kremer brought his risk taking design aesthetic to the table in a collaborative effort with German eyewear label Mykita. “The ROMAIN frame is cut out of 0.5 mm stainless steel and features metal shutters. The design borrows cues from traditional Inuit eyewear, which was designed solely to provide protection from dazzling sunlight and did not have conventional lenses. The very graphic and square-edged frame is inspired by the collection’s leitmotiv of protection and is reminiscent of war face paint.” Two colorways will be available this November.
