In case you didn’t believe that Kanye West’s Venetian-blind sunglasses are based on an ’80s design, I present a blurry screen cap from Animotion’s amazing 1985 video for “Obsession.” I’m not sure what kind of drugs everyone was on when this video was shot.

Glasses appear at about 2:50.
Now we have Kanye West in Alain Mikli Venetian-blind glasses in 2007.
UPDATED TO ADD: Some people have been reporting that Kanye’s sunglasses are by Jeremy Scott, but I’m going with Alain Mikli. People.com has a statement from a Mikli manager.
Haha. A style like that could only come from the ’80s. Too bad they’re not very practical, because they’d make a great fashion statement with the right outfit!
k.west sunnies are awsome
Ooh, I like those. And I feel like I really, really shouldn’t…
haha. so wrong, and yet so right!

haha!! his shades look so cute.. but totally impractical. ooh and anne boleyn is REALLY GOOOD!! haah!
anyhow thanks for d comment!
i love nicole too!!:D
love!
I hated those shades!!!
Some things from the 80′ s are still bad today!!
I thought Kanye’s sunglasses were ridiculous when I first saw them, and I just knew he came up with them, but I guess not!
Everything old is new again…
Those shades are great for entertaining, but up close, I couldn’t look him in the face.
those glasses were crazy! but i liked them on him haha
dont care for him, but LOVE the glasses!
I’m on the same boat as In Yr Fshn! As impractical as they are, they’d be really fun to wear, I think.
Awful shades. A sure way to damage a person’s eyesight.
For some reason, i love them, but maybe only on him, and only for entertaining, i don’t think they would go down to well for everyday wear no?
I would never wear them , but definetly cool , im loving the whole vinatge sunglasses explosion !
