utside Sunglasses Shop just the other day, we noticed two safetyconscious boys wearing swimming goggles playing conkers out-ofseason. A pitying member of staff ran over and handed each a pair of Oakley, so they could look cool and still protect their eyes (Oakley are good enough for Marines and are good enough to fend off a stray chestnut fragment). After securing a promise to tell all their friends about us, it was back to business. Ah, such is the Sunglasses Shop service. But with this traditional sight, and the lines of hog-roast red day-trippers on our doorstep, we realised summer is here. It seems like a long time coming, but what a star-studded summer it looks. In collaboration with designers Dolce and Gabbana we find Madonna’s first foray into the world of sunglasses design with the muchawaited MDG collection. Retro-popular Carrera sunglasses have become superstars in music videos by some of the world’s top artists, and we’ve been backstage at the Isle of Wight with the festival’s famous. But also, in what could be the greatest cast ever, the cream of Hollywood’s hired guns lock and load for summer blockbuster, The Expendables, using Police sunglasses to keep their cool even before the flames die down. The winter of discontent is behind us; it’s a time for holidays and a time for fun. Everything’s better in good weather and you want sunglasses to match your mood. The sun shines and so do our sunglasses, especially those studded with Swarovski. And boys, please bring back our Oakleys.
