An oversized rectangular aviator inspired by the louche stylings of the early 1970’s. The Black and Blue features an infilled bridge and deep lenses. Fabricated in a high contrast tortoiseshell and glazed with distinctive yellow sun lenses this frame mixes South of France glamour with rock’n’roll posturing. Fitted 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
When we were approached to create a suite of frames for The Rolling Stones RS No.9 Carnaby Street we knew that there could be no greater opportunity than this to marry the Kirk Originals approach to eyewear with the spirit and aesthetic of a London rock‘n’roll legend.
The result of our collaboration is a suite of two frames, designed to appeal to bold and confident characters. Timeless silhouettes, referencing exciting moments in time when rock n roll style and attitude was central to London culture but brought up to date through the use of contemporary materials and sleek fabrication.

Design Notes
"Black and Blue is an aviator representing the band in all of their 1970s glory. I wanted to capture the perfect aviator but give it something unusual, something truly eye catching and so the yellow lens came into play.
The iconic lips sit on the ear tip in a raised silver and theres a slimline silhouette used to offset the oversized lens. Pure Rock’n’Roll style!"
