Dripping Tar Sunglasses

Anna ter Haar Designs

Anna ter Haar seems to seek inspiration from drops quite a bit. These big, black sunglasses look as though they are dripping with thick tar. That's usually a bag thing, but Haar made it look impossibly chic.

She made the black shades for the Klavers van Engelen fall/winter 2008/09 fashion show in Milan. More of these sunglasses can be seen on his site.

We have featued Haar's work before, last time it was chairs that appeared to be dripping in wet paint.
