New in stores are these blindingly bright sunglasses created by Germany’s oddball design savant Bernhard Willhelm, together with the five-year-old Berlin-based optical collective Mykita. The three mirrored aviator styles were inspired by the 1976 Olympic skiers at Innsbruck and are handmade using cut sheet metal and screwless hinges, a process that gives them great flexibility and a snug fit. Although the flashy eye poppers are intended for the winter slopes, we’ll be rocking them on the summer shores. $475 at Opening Ceremony and Seven in New York, and at American Rag in Los Angeles.
