With teeny tiny Matrix-esque sunglasses storming the runways at fashion week and adorning every celeb from Rihanna to Bella Hadid, it seems the cool kid eyewear trend is going nowhere fast.
The latest shades brand du jour hopping on the A-list train? The under-the-radar but consequently painfully cool, Etnia Barcelona.
Getting the elusive celeb seal of approval from Margot Robbie, Lupita Nyong'o, Cara, Gigi and Cate Blanchett to boot, Etnia Barcelona is the sunglasses brand to be talking about right now.
Launching their latest campaign this week, the Spanish brand have opted for a Gucci-esque riff on classic paintings that feels more 2018 than a pair of glitter Birkenstocks.
Our favourite? The tongue-in-cheek take on a renaissance painting of Jesus with their version of the classic portrait holding a cigarette and a very millennial gin cocktail. Elevating sunglasses to previously undeserved levels of divinity - bold, but we're into it.
And the multi-coloured angular lenses bring the goods as well. 'We use the highest quality mineral lenses. The very best visual experience in the world, completely scratchproof,' says Etnia Barcelona.
'We design exclusive textures and colours for each new season, based on our analysis of trends. Our inspiration comes from the art world.
'Our "savoir faire" goes into each and every one of our creations. The excellence that can only come from years of experience is apparent throughout, right down to the smallest detail.'
Opt for the minimal but angular Bywater or Carytown styles to work the tiny sunglasses trend, or channel Margot Robbie with a pair of 70s throwback Le Marais shades.
Carytown, £159 BUY
Bywater, £159 BUY
Le Marais Sun, £159 BUY
Accessorise with a pair of Gucci loafers, an Off-White bumbag and a natural interest in 17th century fine art.
