Kirk & Kirk: Collaboration with Nicholas Pinnock and Jason Bell

Kirk & Kirk Collaboration: Nicholas Pinnock (left) and Jason Bell (right)

Nicholas Pinnock and Jason Bell are long-time friends with a shared passion for eyewear.

When they realized that they were both friends with Jason Kirk through their love of glasses, they approached Kirk & Kirk to explore the idea of a collaboration. Jason and Karen Kirk loved the idea. Nicholas and Jason had a particular challenge that they wanted to address.

They often have to film in varied light conditions or go from outdoor to indoor events so they were looking for frames that would work both as sunglasses and as optical frames. Choosing a Transitions Amethyst lens, Kirk & Kirk adapted the ever-popular Horace in Matte Black to meet the challenge and wear in pretty much any environment.

Made in France to the highest optical standards, the lens can be adapted to carry a prescription with the Transitions lens. 10% of every sale goes to Little Green Pig, a children’s literacy charity based in Brighton, Kirk & Kirk’s home city.
