What does it mean for a pair of glasses to “frame” the face”? A stylist would answer this question pragmatically; a strong jaw line should be complimented by a strong brow line; round faces work best with even rounder frames. In collaboration with Lindberg, Kinfolk’s creative team and London-based fashion illustrator Rosie McGuinness have been experimenting with a more playful means of finding the perfect fit. Layering illustrations with Lindberg’s tailor-made, screw-free eyewear, these five compositions were shot in the long morning light of our Copenhagen gallery. TwitterFacebookPinterest Lindberg’s new range takes inspiration from eyewear of the late ’70s and early ’80s. The era’s dramatic shapes have been translated into striking minimalist designs. Lindberg eyewear is logo-less, but instantly recognisable for its screw-free hinges. Each pair is modular and customisable for your face—or that of your favorite painting.
