Saturday, November 17th: Double-Header! Kirk & Kirk and Sabine Be

Kirk & Kirk’s Spring 2019 collection is full of pretty surprises. Their newest collection features vintage shapes in translucent rainbow colors, in styles for both men and women. Capture0031-2

Sabine Be is stiff competition for Kirk & Kirk! Sabine Be’s designs go all-out… with some of the best color combinations ever (in our opinion!) and bold shapes. This line is modern, with a little whimsy thrown in for good measure!! Don’t miss this show! Sabine_Be

Saturday, November 23rd & 24th: Theo eyewear

Theo never disappoints, and this year is no exception! Bright colors and modern graphic shapes aplenty, the 2019 collection combines acetates and metal! Their new collab with Matali Crasset is a must-see for anyone who is looking for something a bit out-of-the-ordinary. Theo_eyewitness
