Reality starlet turned fashion designer Nicole Richie is serious about her shades ? she owns more than 200 pairs of sunglasses.

"I view them as fun masks to accessorize your face," she told Teen Vogue.

The House of Harlow and Winter Kate designer said she wears the luxe lenses as a way to protect her eyes from the sun and to further her own design research.

"But in my defense," she said, "I make sunglasses, so I have to research-shop, and I own every pair I've ever designed."

She takes her sunglass designs seriously. Her most recent collection was inspired by fashion icons such as Sue Lyon's plastic heart sunglasses in Stanley Kubrick's film "Lolita" and John Lennon's wire-rimmed circles.

Another reason she wears sunglasses? To hide the fact that she doesn't wear makeup, she told Nylon magazine in January.�
