Kindergarten Couture

It is a well known fact that people who work within the creative industries tend to be of a younger age compared to most workplaces. Due to this, these employees often face an internal battle within themselves - do they publicise their seemingly "immature" passions or censor themselves in order to appear sophisticated?
In most cases the latter is chosen - Surely there is another solution? A way of conveying an air of maturity without sacrificing our seemingly callow pursuits?
Fortunately Chanel has intervened, creating a tasteful hybrid of juvenescence and refined elegance through their 5138 Sunglasses.
The classic styling of the frames and lenses are a well orchestrated nod to Audrey Hepburn's famed role in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and when juxtaposed with the technicolored tones of the Chanel logo these glasses go from ho-hum to statement piece. The glasses are available in several colour variants, the black and rainbow just happened to be our favourite combo.
When "Statement Pieces" first spotted these specs we were instantly won over by the simplistic contrast within the design. The coloured logo reminded us of a box of crayons and we realised the youthful charm these glasses held. The large frames can hide a multitude of sins in a cheekily astute way. When wearing the shades, "Statement Pieces" recommends that you sweep your side fringes back into anything from a neat chignon, to a messy bun piled on the top of your head - If you're paying close to $500 for the glasses you might as well show the brand off to the world!
