While roaming about Cibelespacio, the area where MB fashion Week Madrid is located, several designers and brands set up stands where you can explore and shop between shows. This season, Lord Wilmore was in attendance, a relatively new Spanish eyewear brand.

Lord Wilmore was created for people who want to be adventurous and live life to the fullest. Doing so, of course, while wearing glasses. Here in Spain, getting a solid pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses can prove to be extremely expensive, and not to mention sometimes lacking if you want something a bit stylish. Enter Lord Wilmore. This brand isn’t cheap, but it does provide quality at a reasonable price.

I have to give the Lord Wilmore team a high five, because really, opening a successful business in the midst of Spain’s economic crisis must have proved to be difficult. The fact that they seem to be doing quite well is an enormous feat. They sell their product online, and ship to countries throughout Europe and North America. You can also buy their products at various optics shops here in Madrid.

Lord Wilmore creates a sort of nerdy, funky line of specs, the kind that are trending right now. I luckily, happen to be rather blind, and my glasses are the real deal, but for those who don’t need glasses, you can easily fake it. One doesn’t need to have poor eyesight to wear Lord Wilmore’s glasses…they can be purchased with or without corrective lenses. Both sunglasses and eyeglasses alike nowadays are not just a corrective tool for poor vision; they are a true style accessory, especially for men. A certain style can completely change your look for the day. And Lord Wilmore can certainly offer you style.

The “Walt White” style glasses, popular due to the television show “Breaking Bad”.

Some of the styles are the wayfer, the circle style glasses (think early 1990’s journalist living in NYC), the Urkel look, the ones that seem to be Brooklyn hipster and of course, the newly trending “Walter White” style glasses with a thin, squareish frame, made popular by cult favorite television series Breaking Bad.  Of course, most options are available as sunglasses as well.  All options are marketed as unisex, so you can get a matching pair for your girlfriend. And I can sleep easy at night knowing that being blind puts me right on trend with my nerd glasses!
