UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 26, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

In case you didn’t get the memo, the 2010 designer darling is Alexander Wang. And why not? Aside from his clothing lines, his bags are legendary, his shoes the definition of urban cool, and—mark my words—his Zoro Angular Acetate Sunglasses are going to be iconic. In 20 years’ time, your girls are going to be scrambling for their very own vintage pair. They are the cat eye of the noughties.

NastyGal has some gold and black ones, and I think the black ones look very similar: http://www.shopnastygal.com/products/new/clothing/eyewear/Space-Woman-Shades-%252d-Black.html .
