BLK Market - Theo Eyewear at Mortimer Hirst

Belgian eyewear legends Theo Eyewear have been shaking the optical foundations for many years. Since launching in 1987, opticians Wim Somers and Patrick Hoet have been fearless in design and relentless in their search for inspiration from both the past, and the future. Check 1989’s Balkenbril frame or the dizzying freedom of Eye-Witness J Series in 2002. The designers have created a real vision, about vision. Combine Theo Eyewear’s legend as eyewear pioneers with the sharp and conceptual design of one of Antwerp’s new breed, Tim Van Steenbergen, and you have an aesethetic resonating Belgian harmony. Infamous Duo capture two of these, the Lena 11 from that colab and the Mille +25 for Black Market in the current issue of Black Magazine. Both frames available now at Mortimer Hirst in Hight Street. Styling: Rachael Churchward. Hair: Jannine Jones at Ryder Salon Make-up: Kiki Stanners for MAC Cosmetics. Model: Emma Kate Boyd at Clyne Models wears (both tops) by Acne from Workshop.
