BLACK SERIES by LINDA FARROW offers a fresh take on fashion, and lifestyle design: start with the details
Maybe you’ve heard or read the phrases: “Quiet luxury.” “Stealth wealth.”
They’re all over the press, and for good reason. Talk to successful designers and in-the-know tastemakers, and they’ll tell you that there's a (not so) quiet revolution happening in fashion, and that includes luxury eyewear.
It’s a revolution driven by a return to craftsmanship, a primacy placed on understated elegance, and —of course— a deep appreciation for the finer things in life. BLACK SERIES by LINDA FARROW is at the forefront of this movement.
The new capsule is offering a collection designed for the man who understands that true luxury is found in the details.
In a free flowing conversation that recently took place in the brand’s light filled, multi story studio, Creative Director Simon Jablon explains the choice facing many men in 2024.
"I’ve always seen BLACK SERIES as more than a collection. It started as a way for the brand to express its more masculine side but, lately, I’ve been seeing it more like a signal, or even a lifestyle choice,” says Simon as he gestures to a display case of the newest frames.
These frames are for the man who appreciates the nuances. Who get the subtle touches that elevate an object from ordinary to extraordinary." Looking at the pieces, it’s clear that this philosophy is woven into every aspect of the collection, from the choice of materials to the meticulous craftsmanship.
The same attention to detail is evident in the design itself. Clean lines, understated silhouettes, and a focus on functionality define the BLACK SERIES aesthetic. There are no flashy logos or unnecessary embellishments, just a quiet confidence that comes from knowing that every element has been carefully considered.
Simon shares a novel take on luxury eyewear: "We want our frames to feel like a natural extension of the wearer," Jablon says. "That means paying attention to the way the temples curve, the smooth action of the hinges, even the weight of the frame on your face." These are the details that make BLACK SERIES not just about eyewear, but rather, about a way of life.
BLACK SERIES is for the man who curates not only his wardrobe, but his entire life with intention. Yes, he appreciates the finer things, but more than that, just gets that true luxury is found in the details. Whether it's the subtle stitching on a bespoke suit, the hand-finished leather of a watch strap, or the precise engineering of a titanium frame, it's the accumulation of these small, thoughtful choices that create a lifestyle of understated elegance.
BLACK SERIES isn't just about looking good; it's about feeling good. It's for the man who understands that a lifestyle made of details is the ultimate expression of luxury.
