There’s few bespeckled characters in the last decade more iconic than The Professor. Want those glasses? You’re in luck.
Persol is launching another La Casa de Papel/Money Heist-inspired eyewear capsule, with multiple styles inspired by Sergio himself, played by Alvaro Morte.
Exclusive: Alex Pina rewrote the ending of La Casa de Papel 33 times. Read more here.
The latest Persol X La Casa de Papel capsule includes both the Original El Profesor, as well as a slightly rounded sun version, El Profesor Sergio, a modern double bridge rework of the iconic Persol drop shape.
Esquire Middle East recently caught up with Alvaro Morte (The Professor), Pedro Alonso (Berlin) and Jaime Lorente (Denver) about filming the final season. Read more here.
Here’s the official descriptions of each item in the new Persol collection:
El Profesor Original
A genius, by design: capturing the thrilling reality of a surreal plan, perfectly engineered, perfectly executed style frames the charismatic look of the original mastermind: El Profesor. Stealing its way into the public eye with contemporary cult status, the iconic Persol drop gets a strong top bar, bridging past and present to define an emblematic new vision of cinema-inspired style. So, whether you choose to fade into the shadows in trend-aligned new transparent grey, mark your territory in high-definition black or craft your character in heritage textures, this emblematic, gender-neutral shape is designed to reveal its complex persona in style. Dedicated packaging, including a custom box, case and sleeve, highlights its exclusive, premium product status.
El Profesor Sergio
Original genius is hard to disguise – never what you expect it to be, no shades have ever succeded in hiding the look of a true mastermind – there will only ever be one El Profesor. Framing the charismatic gaze of its highly nuanced character, three distinctive colors define the crafted acetate contours of this modern, slightly rounded double bridge rework of the iconic Persol drop: from high definition black with shading blue lenses, to a classic havana and green combo or new transparent grey frame with dark grey polar lenses, the look goes from classic to cool, effortlessly. Dedicated packaging, including a custom box, case and sleeve highlight its exclusive, premium product status.
