Super Duper Sunnies: Oversized overdone? Go Hi Tek with Alexander!

With summer inching closer, it’s that time again when sunglasses are brought to the forefront of fashion. Oversized shades have had reign over the market for too long now and it’s definitely time for a change… especially after seeing all those cute round sunnies on the likes of Alexa Chung and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

So I got to thinking and searching until I stumbled upon the goldmine that is Alexander Hi Tek — a London based designer who makes some of the coolest wares around! A veteran designer of the 80s and 90s, his sunglasses are on par with the big designers (think Karen Walker shades but less pricey and better selection!)… but they’re definitely not for the feint of heart! And with prices starting around 30 EUR they’re pretty reasonable for designer sunglasses and a real piece of 80s history! I suggest you grab a pair before he realizes he can charge 5 times that price…

Check out some of his amazing designs below!

Awesome color combos!

John Lennon Style in basically any color you can think of

Not your Grandpa’s Flip Ups…

***And there’s more where that came from… check out his site to see his entire collection. It’s definitely a testament to the fact that if your behind the times long enough you’ll become ahead of your time again… I just wish I was a hip enough little kid in the 80s to know about him!
