Because sometimes a mere aviator alone is not adequate protection against the sun’s harsh rays. And sometimes, just sometimes, you wake up with but one desire – “today,” you tell yourself, “I wish to look like an intergalactic metal welder.” Thank the fashion lords, then, for these sunglasses, a collaboration between NY-sportswear savants Hood By Air and Korean eyewear wizards Gentle Monster. I mean, we’ve always said that a little international “cross-pollination” (should we say) is only a good thing. Why else would one go abroad than to enjoy the “spoils” of another culture? Just ask Dominic. Now, these sunglasses first descended to earth at Hood By Air’s SS16 show, when you probably, like us, wondered: will these ever grace the floors of a retail space? Will I ever be able to procure them with the swipe of a credit card? Well yes, now, you can – all three styles, the “Jacuzzi,” “Hirakish” and “Marz” (above) – each pair featuring stainless steel and sturdy acetate fixtures. Perfect for telling all those basics on the beach in Maga that you are, in fact, not a British holidaymaker but a mega-bitch straight from the future. As futuristic, in fact, as the video Natalie just sent Dominic and I of two naked aliens playing pat-a-cake. God bless the internet.
