Geometric Architectural Shades

These Design Sunglasses by 13&9 Are Stunning and Futuristic

— May 22, 2014 — Fashion
Taking the art of design sunglasses to another level, interdisciplinary design collective 13&9 launch its new Geometric Collection Diamond Shades.

Using materials found in architecture like cellulose acetate to create a collection of geometrical precision, the androgynous design sunglasses are like nothing you've seen before. Crafted as angular sculptural pieces, the collection is both mysterious and slightly mad, which results in futuristic perfection.

So if you're looking to treat yourself to something special -- not just another pair of sunglasses that fit your face -- this is the collection you need to be looking at. Keep in mind such a collection is not for the faint of heart; these designs are edgy, funky, chic and look like they belong on Lady Gaga's face. Or yours if you have the bravado for it.
