Those Big Fashion Glasses

Those Big Fashion Glasses

Lately I shocked myself and Fabiana saying that I quite like those huge black glasses so trendy in these days. Yes, I know it is very strange said from someone like me, but in the end I see them as part of a culture that will last few months and that will be replaced by something else even more strange. Those sort of huge black things(!) do not suit everyone, maybe just few of the wearer were ok with them, but my vision is that they create a huge contrast with the today’s idea of fashion. Yes, because in the end it is all about fashion, isn’t it?

A colleague of mine told me yesterday that he was shocked by the fact that French and Italians tend to dress better than English in many occasions. He underlined the fact that just to go to a club, in Paris and Milan everyone is perfectly dressed, while in London the culture is completely different. I would say that, generally speaking, he is right where the “generally” avoids to keep into consideration the clubs in London where fashion is the main theme. Italians and French live much more of appearance than British people do. It is always “Dress to Impress” and too many times that is more important than simply being and the interest of a person is defined by his/her clothes and not his/her ideas.

The huge black glasses fall in the category of the “dress to impress”, nothing excessive, just that detail that, deviating from the logic of yesterday’s fashion, creates an interesting shape in the faces of the wearers. Moreover, they are so huge that they allow a good vision of the eyes, enhancing them in some faces!

Do you love or do you hate them?

i like them, i think trends make me feel uncomfortable, feels like an admission on no creativity. Everything old becomes new again, I was at a concert and saw these young girls wearing much bigger sized glasses that reminded of Sally Jessy Raphael style glasses, which looked hideous back in the day and to some point looked hideous on this girl today...
