Through The Looking Glasses

May 31, 2007 @ 1:24pm

Adorable design team and Gen Art superstars the Beckermans ( www.beckermans.com ) have the cutest Ray-Ban-inspired sunglass necklace for summer (and maybe for brightening up winter too?).

It comes in either rhodium/platinum or gold plated with a 24’ chain, and can be worn two ways – with the sunglasses going vertically or horizontally. I love options! But actually my favorite thing about the Beckermans is that the designers are three sisters – twins and their little sis (just like my family!)

For all you Wayfarer fans and Wayfarer naysayers out there – what’s the verdict on this one? Would you wear it?

hanging down it just looks like a librarian but horizontally could be cool - maybe ?

I could see these on Flavor Flav once he checks into a nursing home and doesn't need to know the time, just needs to find his damn reading glasses. From far away, maybe, up close, just weird.

I would not wear it - too big and too high school for my personal style...which probably means they will end up in teen vogue next month..

Wow, my mom will be thrilled! If this is the new style, then my mom is about three years ahead of the curve.

so far, i really don't like this alison chick. everything she has posted has reeked of the whole hipster granny/child/irony/whatever aesthetic. no thanks

I think it could be sort of provocative to wear the glasses verically with something loose, something with a low neckline but not too low, so that you actually hide your glasses under your shirt/dress, and pull them out at the right moment.
