Shutter shades were first made available in 2007 by Shutter Shades Inc., Los Angeles. Instead of the more conventional style of shades these do not have lenses, instead there is a “shutter” attatched to the frame, it does not actually though shut by the way. Originally they were a custom design for the Hip-Hop and R&B artist, Kanye West, who made them famous in his music video fo the hit single “Stronger”. There are a variety of different colours ranging from white to glow-in-the-dark and this summer there will be a limited release of gold and silver coloured shades.
