Shutter shades

The shades are marketed as suitable for both men and women and are available in an assortment of styles and colors.

Depending on the design, shutter shades may not function as sunglasses; although some models contain UV resistant lenses, many do not.

Sometimes referred to as "Venetian blinders", examples were featured in the music videos for "Glittering Prize" by Simple Minds in 1982 and "Obsession" by Animotion in 1984.

They were also popularized by professional wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage, which he wore before many of his matches, as well as in his promos.

Alain Mikli made a contemporary custom design for Kanye West, again influenced by the fashion of the 1980s.
