Retro-futuristic, rimless and refined, Alexander McQueen’s new Spike Studs Mask sunnies bring an electrifying flurry of vintage, British punk style into the 21st century. With a disruptive cat-eye silhouette or a sleek, square body, the shades come in a melange of delicate lens colours from smoke to brown, pale blue to pink, and in an expressive mirrored silver and red that was first unveiled on the SS23 womenswear catwalk with gold or silver metal temples and metal spike embellishments.
With a subversive, future-tech finish, these sunspecs are reared and ready to not only protect your peepers but to assist you in standing out amongst an endless ocean of poolside sunbeds, whilst simultaneously hiding any evidence of your boozy bender the night before. The weather outside might still be all doom, gloom and rainy days, but that teensy gleam of sunshine peeping through the clouds outside Ten Towers is telling us that now o’clock is exactly the right time to nab a new pair of cyberpunk sunnies.
