Quirky Badass Glasses

Ventzislav Iliev's Fancy World Series is Filled With Hipster Shades

— April 6, 2011 — Fashion
Ok hipster kids, it's time to put away those Kanye West shutter shades and embrace another round of eccentric sunglasses such as those found in the Fancy World photo series. I mean, this pair of spectacles has everything a hipster could want: chains, glitter, gems and, most importantly, they impede your vision just as well as those shutter shades did.

Photographed and designed by Ventzislav Iliev, the Fancy World series is absolutely playful and creative. Modeled by Mariya Kirova and Metodi Iliev, each piece of Fancy World eyewear seems to be inspired by certain themes such as Prison Break, Shark, Twins, 3D and more.

Using a wide range of materials, the Fancy World glasses series may not be the most practical thing to wear on a daily basis, but pieces from the collection offer great accessories for a night on the town or a certain type of costume party.
