90s vintage futuristic crystal sunglasses. Rectangular transparent frame with extraordinary arm cut outs and shocking pink lenses. NOS

The problem with being good at your job, is that eventually you make it look easy. But supplying this living wish list of all the difficult to source things to find in a single pair of sunglasses, is definitely not easy. This is like the eyewear worlds equivalent of the story of the new apprentice working in a hardware store who on his first day was asked to go in the back and find the paint that was pink with white polkadots to amuse his elders. We would be asking our new recruit to go on the Internet and track down a crystal clear low profile frame a bit like a new wayfarer but not exactly. It must have shocking pink lenses and chrome arms with cut out motifs in an abstract pattern, let's say something like an hieroglyphic fish symbol. Also it needs to be a respectable standard of production in flawless NOS condition, at least 25 years old and we want to be under £50.

Yes it would be asking the impossible and yet somehow we managed to do it.

But what's really interesting about these sunglasses is that they are actually a very conservative format which has been radicalised beyond any form of recognition.
