Well He’s Back… http://www.gafas.ca/2012/02/remember-robocop-well-hes-back/ http://www.gafas.ca/2012/02/remember-robocop-well-hes-back/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:28:46 +0000 admin http://www.gafas.ca/?p=3454

Actually, not quite….Brazilian police officers are getting Gucci sunglasses with cameras attached that can automatically identify 400 known criminals per second from up to 12 miles away, designed to ferret out hooligans at the 2014 World Cup. The Gucci frame sunglasses are wirelessly connected to a huge computer database with the facial profiles of 13 million people, and as a police officer wearing them walks around, images are continually streamed back to the system, which can scan 400 faces per second!! If the database finds something, a screen connected to the glasses will let the officer know just who exactly it is that needs a beatdown. Talk about futuristic! We may not have these specific frames but come on by to Gafas  and check out our wide array of Gucci glasses!

His words have affected many across the globe, and the beliefs that he fought for are still applicable today. We at Gafas would like to celebrate the life of a man who left an indelible mark on society, well after his death 47 years ago. In honour of Malcolm X we pay tribute by showcasing these great frames designed by Chrome Hearts. Come to the shop and check them out!

The Chrome Hearts “Mingus” is an elaborately modern version of Malcolm X’s iconic glasses. Made from the finest materials, this bad-ass frame is not for the faint of heart with its sterling silver detailing.

The Academy Awards are still a week away, but here’s our choice for Lead Actor, and it’s not just because he’s rockin’ Barton Perreira’s…well maybe it is. We’ve got an amazing collection of Barton Perreira’s in Gafas, distinguished by their classic shapes, clean lines and an overall CRISPness [s/o to How to Make it in America]. The attention to detail and fine craftsmanship is what separates Barton Perreria from the pack. Come by the shop and see what we’ve got!
