Would you wear these Linda Farrow x Walter Van Beirendonck sunglasses?
Heart-shaped sunglasses, or rather, sunglasses with heart-shaped
lenses and frames are by no means ground-breaking. While we're unsure of
the precise origins of the style, we know they extend at least as far
back as 1962 and Stanley Kubrick's
Lolita
. The movie's iconic
poster features the title character peering over top of a pair of red
sweetheart sunnies. Since then, they've been adopted, updated, rendered
frameless, over-sized, and even given a shutter shades version, but
until now, have never looked
quite like this. Instead of each lens being cut into the shape of a heart—creating the illusion of a hearts-for-eyes look—these Linda Farrow x Walter Van Beirendonck specs put two (colored AND mirrored!) lenses together to make
one heart. Across your entire face.

As you can see, the nature of the heart shape doesn't really lend
itself to a logical place to put the bridge of the nose. Instead of
trying to make that work, Farrow and Van Beirendonck (Lindy and Walt, as
we like to refer to them) just ignore it. Your nose is going to sit
somewhere in the middle of the heart, and you're going to LIKE IT.
Depending on how far out or high on your face your nose sits, you might
even get the bonus style element of the tip of the heart extending into
your top lip! In all seriousness, there's something strangely intriguing
about the heart-shaped shades. They're kind of like if those colorful,
translucent visors and if the VISOR Geordi (from
Star Trek) wore had an accessory baby.
What do you think? Would you wear these Linda Farrow x Walter Van Beirendonck heart-shaped sunglasses?
