Kirk Originals New Generation Eyewear - Lord Kirk of Wycombe

Quirky and stylish eyewear designers Kirk Originals have used their own super powers to create a new range called the New Generation Heroes.

Here we find 8 designs named after heroes created by Jason Kirk himself and all with super powers. 

The style – A black brooding frame with flashes of neon colours asymmetrically placed in textured stripes on the left hand side. The colours are orange, turquoise, red or silver.

And the heroes? 

We've already introduced you to Jack Kirk with his time travel super power earlier in his own post dated 14 June

Now it's the turn of Lord Kirk of Wycombe with his half framed design.

Unfortunately Lord Kirk is no longer with us as he led the bloody Embroiderers Union revolution of 1439 and met an untimely death in pursuit of his political goals when he threw himself in front of the Queen’s spinning jenny.

His super power was that he could knit very quickly – which may have been the reason why he was much misunderstood by the British working classes.  However his Kirk Originals probably ensured he didn’t drop a stitch.  With one of the autumn/winter trend this year being layers of knitwear, he would have been very popular today.

Kirk Originals - the Turbo eyewear collection

If you want your eyewear to say you have the suaveness of James Bond shaken (not stirred) with a twist of Austin Powers’ mojo then go for the Turbo eyewear collection at Kirk Originals.

This is the Aston Martin range of the Kirk collections combining aluminium, wood and acetate to make a slick but truly groovy design.

Inspired by vintage car dashboards the wood used is the red padouk, blond bulnesia, black ebene and brown amourette. This dash of wood adds depth and gives a strong look to the aluminium temple arms creating a classic retro look.

The fronts come in a choice of classic solid black, crystal clear and semi transparent brown.

The styles are the square fronted and high bridge Bobcat (shown here with a crystal front and black ebene sides); the half framed Phantom; the softer square fronted Demon and the slightly rounded Tornado (shown here with a brown front and brown amourette sides).

Let's take Jack Kirk - his superpower is “Time Travel” and favourite flavour is vanilla – he’ll be a hit with the ladies don't you think? You can’t beat a date time travelling and eating vanilla ice cream.

Jack’s story: Quintessentially British, Jack Kirk was blessed with an extremely stiff upper lip which served him well in times of adversity but did pose certain drinking problems. No coincidence then that Jack was instrumental in the invention of the soup patch.

So make that a date time travelling, lots of soup and vanilla ice cream – guys take note
