Happy Birthday MC Hammer!

MC Hammer, it's you're birthday today, hip hip hooray! We dedicate this blog to you and just want to say how much we adore your wicked styles! Not only did The Hammer make some d*mn good music, he set some d*mn fine fashion trends like the Hammer pants which have made a huge come-back in fashion, and those glasses? We say they are timeless and kickin'. You just can't touch that dude's style! But you can snag some eyewear that the man himself would be proud to own. Whether you're a chick or a bloke, these styles will have you lookin' oh-so-cool all year round.

OUT with the new and INspired by the old!

The weather in Toronto has taken a sharp left turn, from frigid to mild, prompting the fashion forward to begin preparations for Spring/Summer. Personally, my first warm weather purchase is always the perfect pair of shades.

This season’s biggest trend is definitely OUT with the new and INspired by the old; vintage-inspired frames are the sure choice for 2011. And because Gafas is always on top of the latest trends all of our new styles are on par.

From Dita’s take on the traditional aviator...










...to Entourage of 7’s boldly coloured cat-eye.










OR, better yet, why not rock a pair of truly vintage sunglasses?

From the classic Ray Ban Wayfarers…










…to the totally rad Cazal 858 delux, which were made popular by MC Hammer in the 80’s.

Whether you're looking for vintage-inspired or truly vintage shades stop by Gafas and check out all our unique brands and exclusive Kings of Past line that will surely give you blast from the past.
