Tired of those Wayfarers that you have been clinging onto since last summer? In need of something a little more in line with Summer 09? Then look no further than the latest range of sunglasses from Australian company Colab. A breath of fresh air in the cookie cutter eyewear industry, Colab creates limited edition sunglasses made in collaboration (geddit?) with famous artists from across the globe. Refreshingly, Colab aims to "facilitate the artists own design into production. There is no constraint, no rules to follow, no target market to appease" meaning that the artists style and vision is translated into something that is directly accessible for not only followers of the artist but also everyday people like you and me who just want to have a genuine artwork attached to their face. Recent players include Perks and Mini, Geoff McFetridge and local-graff-boy-turned-fashion-designer, DMOTE (pictured). Available instore now, they are a must have for anyone who’s grown tired of the Kanye West Shutter Shade aesthetic.
