# Sticky Note Sunnies Memo Eyes Let You Express Yourself Artistically via Your Eyewear By Michael Hines | Published 2011-11-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memo-eyes References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2011/11/05/memo-eyes-sticky-notes-eyeglasses/) & [funshop.co.kr](http://www.funshop.co.kr/vs/detail.aspx?categoryno=1243&itemno=13557) I'm willing to bet that hipsters around the country will begin sporting Memo Eyes as an alternative to frame-less glasses. Memo Eyes are glasses that use sticky note paper as opposed to actual glass or plastic to fill the frames. Why would anyone want to wear a pair of glasses that they couldn't see out of? Simple: because they are fun. Drawing on glasses or sunnies is usually looked down upon, but Memo Eyes encourages the practice. These faux glasses are a great way to show off your artistic abilities. They are also an awesome accessory for those looking to complete their anime cosplay outfits as you can draw a massive pair of eyes to go along with your spkiy pink doo and duds. 3D glasses without the frames, your time is up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Artistic Eyewear:** The trend of using unconventional materials, like sticky notes, for eyewear frames provides disruptive innovation opportunities to create unique and expressive artistic eyewear products. - **Interactive Accessories:** Memo Eyes glasses encourage users to engage with their accessories and personalize them, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities to create interactive accessories that allow for self-expression. - **Cosplay-inspired Fashion:** Memo Eyes glasses, with their ability to draw exaggerated eyes, tap into the trend of cosplay and offer disruptive innovation opportunities to create fashion accessories that complement cosplay outfits. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Eyewear:** The eyewear industry could embrace the trend of unconventional materials for frames and introduce new artistic eyewear options that cater to customers looking for unique and expressive accessories. - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can explore the concept of interactive accessories that allow for personalization and self-expression, inspired by the Memo Eyes glasses. - **Cosplay Products:** Cosplay-focused businesses could consider incorporating Memo Eyes-inspired fashion accessories that enhance cosplay outfits by offering exaggerated eye designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eclectic Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection.md) - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [Advanced AI-Integrated Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memomind-smart-glasses.md) - [Anime-Inspired Glasses Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animeinspired-glasses.md) - [Gummy Candy-Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-collection.md) - [UV-Activated Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodr-x-cheetos.md) - [DIY AR-Functioned Monocle Clip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monocle-1.md) - [Haute Hinge-Free Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangled-eyewear.md)
