Sun God Shades

6:44 PM


















Last drizzly Thursday, I walked the streets of Bucktown to RSVP Gallery for a party featuring the full collection of inventive Karen Walker Eyewear. On any other day, RSVP Gallery features a few selections of these designer sunglasses (that will run you about $200 each) plus select brands such as playful Lanyard necklaces that call to mind childhood innocence.

The Karen Walker Eyewear event included looks inspired by the Sun God. Yet the designs looked to be a combination of retro 50s and 60s designs (modified cat eyes and round Elton John shapes) and futuristic accents like extra bridges and graphic arrows.

The orange are pretty fun. Or you could always go for those referencing post eye surgery shades.
