Inspired by the rapidly shifting styles and energies of London in the 1960’s the Aftermath model is a bold and arrogant rectangular shape with sharply angled details across the browline and temple lugs. With silver pins to the front and temple and a subtle silver raised tongue icon on the ear tip we have added a decorative swagger to an already bold frame silhouette.
The Collaboration
Back in time for Summer 2022 after a sell-out collaboration in 2021
The Rolling Stones x Kirk Originals sunglass range has been expanded to include a new smoke grey colourway in the Aftermath silhouette and the addition of a luxurious deep brown lens in the Black & Blue silhouette.
Kirk Originals have drawn on the imagery of the young Stones rolling through the streets of Soho in the 1960s and reimagined their dark and brooding attitude within the bold Aftermath silhouette. The1970’s Stones owned the aviator frame and Kirk Originals took the opportunity to capture their own version of this timeless classic adding a new spin for contemporary wearers.
The result of the collaboration is a suite of two frames appealing to bold and confident characters. Timeless silhouettes, referencing exciting moments in time when rock n roll style and attitude was central to London culture.

Design Notes
"The Aftermath is the distillation of super-black frames worn by the band as they were gaining traction in the mid 1960’s and their bad boy attitude was enhanced through the wearing of frames that hid the eyes and the intent behind them.
We have brought back the use of pins to the front; a distinctly heritage touch and aded the iconic lips motif to the ear tip for some blink and you’ll miss it branding."
