Drop your Kanye Glasses

Filed Under Celebrity Watch, Designer Sunglasses 


us1002.jpgShould we drop our Kanye Sunglasses? This king of eyewear fashion, from Carerra to Versace and even Prada, has hurt his image. After Kanye’s now infamous outburst at the VMA awards, a sour taste was left in our mouths as we thought about how the sweet Taylor Swift must have felt having her art slammed by a singing legend…right in front of her!

Since the disrespectful outburst, Kanye has blamed his actions on the death of his mother, who passed two years ago, and on passion for music. On the Jay Leno show he apologized again to Miss Swift, but to little effect because he followed up the apology with a comment revealing how he still believes Beyonce should have won the award.

The hype seems to have no bounds as President Obama goes on record calling Kanye a “Jackass.” Not very presidential, in our opinion. Nevertheless, with the Kanye image spoiled, will his fashion trends tumble as well? Kanye is responsible for the huge fame of the shutter-style sunglasses as well as making larger-than-life sunglasses popular for men (like the frames in the image) from Carrera and other designer brands. We idolized Kanye for his singing ability as well as for his fashion sense, but this outburst has put a damper on our affection.

While there is little doubt that Kanye messed up, we think we’ll give the guy a break, hold on to our sunglasses with pride, and hope that he can graciously exit himself from this crisis and move on with more tact in the future. Lesson here: a drunk Kanye makes for an unwelcomed and not amusing onstage breakdown.
