Where to shop for stylish specs – Kirk Originals

Designers Versace, Prada and Marc by Marc Jacobs all sent models in stylish specs down the catwalks this season, with the likes of celebrities Anne Hathaway and Eva Longoria quickly sporting the geek chic trend. To snap up your own pair of cool specs head to the uber cool Kirk Originals store in Conduit Street. For bright glittery retro styles check out The Saturn Collection. Featuring seven bold colours in vibrant blue, flame red, anthracite grey, green, cherry and clay, each style sits in a crystal frame exclusive to Kirk Originals. Honing this season’s classic meets modern trend, The Saturn specs will add a burst of colour to your wardrobe. As Jason Kirk, MD of Kirk Originals explains “the inspiration behind this collection came from the type of person who would wear Kirk Originals, subtle and completely unique, with an ability to choose whether or not to show off their individuality that day.” Or for the more demure, opt for The Sculpture collection. Playing with optical illusions and 3D, the patterns and textures appear to change under different lights, creating dynamic shapes and movement.... Is this cool or what?! Technologically advanced and aesthetically pleasing, The Sculpture collection is a collaboration of specialist acrylic artists, choose from unique colours chocolate and gold Harlequin as well as purple, blue, red, orange and silver. Commenting, Jason says “we are extremely excited to lead the way in optical design with The Sculpture Collection. It is important for our customers to not only look unique but feel comfortable at the same time. Craftsmanship and quality materials are vital for the Kirk Originals brand and we continue to strive to push the boundaries both technically and aesthetically with our collections.”
