New Fun Shutter Shades Collection
Posted: 9/30/08Eyewear is becoming fancier both in prescription glasses and sunglasses. Gone are the days of boring, plain, functional glasses. Designer glasses and matching accessories make glasses “must-haves” for any outfit. And Shutter Shades, Inc, a newer company established in 2007, is supplying stylish, fashionable and intriguing eyeglasses to celebrities and everyday fashionistas, alike.
The reason for creating Shutter Shades was simply the “sheer fun of it”. Todd Wilkerson made a pair for himself and when he wore the glasses,
people went crazy wanting to know where they could get a pair. So he enlisted his brother and a couple friends and they went to work distributing the brand in California. Immediately, the “sheer fun of it” aspect metamorphosed into a growing “movement” with celebrities like Kanye West, Paris Hilton, and Snoop Dog snapping up these unique fashion accessories.
According to the company, “everything that Shutter Shades produces wears the Shutter Shades name boldly and everyone that embraces Shutter Shades becomes part of the worldwide Shutter Shades movement”. And the name is the exact description of the product. Shades with shutters, as in window shutters. Choose from the Classic glasses, Trons, American Flag Edition, Slants, and 2.0. The eyeglasses sport straight across shutters, slanted shutters, or half shutters, half glass.
There is a wide range of colors including red, pink, black, blue, white, yellow, purple, green, clear and glow-in-the-dark. The glasses are inexpensively priced at around twenty-five dollars US so making them part of your fashion statement will not break the bank. But I did try to find out what the Shutter Shades are made from but there does not seem to be any information regarding materials.
