No it-bags or chunky costume jewellery for you to lust over this coming season. Straight off the Fall 2012 runway show back in March, Alexander McQueen’s futuristic visors are the must-have accessory that’s got the whole fashion council talking – or BBMing.

Capturing the ‘beautiful future’ of the AW12 catwalk collection, this evocative piece of eyewear can be worn by both men and women and not only shields against harmful UV rays, but also completes one’s Autumn style armor. Looking back, Maison Martin Margiela’s cyclopsy L’Incognito sunglasses seem so tame and uninspired.

It’s a good thing they’re releasing these visors in the Fall. Can you imagine what kind of facial tan lines you’d get from wearing this to a day on the beach?

Alexander McQueen visors will hit Dubai boutiques in September 2012, at a retail price of AED 1,700.
