Optical

We’re pleased to unveil our new optical frames that have been designed using the time-honoured method of sketching with pen and paper. Stamped in gold foil, each frame bears the name of a location outside our studio’s front door on Blackfriars Lane – a little reminder that Kirk Originals is a London brand through and through.

The silhouettes are inspired by the energies and boldness of Robert Brownjohn, George Lois and Emmett McBain, three creative luminaries from N.Y. and London who excelled in the post-war period. With effortless elan, each one of them pushed the visual boundaries of the advertising world, shocked the stock market and instigated necessary change in society.
