Eleven Spectacles at Moda Sofia 26

Eleven Spectacles joins Moda Sofia 26 this September. We will be presenting the complete Archē collection at THE#ART#ISSUE – the second edition of Bulgaria's first major international fashion event – at Toplocentrala, Sofia, from 11 to 13 September 2026.

For those in Sofia, come and see the frames in person.

Moda Sofia 26 – THE#ART#ISSUE

Moda Sofia 26 positions fashion at the intersection of art, craft, and community. THE#ART#ISSUE takes place at Toplocentrala – a former district heating plant in the heart of Sofia, reimagined as one of the city's most considered creative spaces. The venue understands what it means to give form a second life.

The event brings together independent designers, international brands, and emerging practices. Among the participating names at Moda Sofia 2026: GRGN, Aleksandar Milev, VEORGOVSKI, ANE STUDIO, Ania Szczygieł, and others.

Full programme at modasofia.bg. Tickets are available here – entry to the Eleven Spectacles presentation is included with general admission. You can also view our dedicated page on the Moda Sofia website.

The Archē Collection

The Archē collection is the debut of Eleven Spectacles – four Beta-Titanium frame models, each named after a concept from ancient Greek philosophy. The name Archē refers to the originating principle, the first cause. It defines the approach: a debut that is a complete statement, not a test run.

Every frame is manufactured by a Japanese company with over 30 years of precision eyewear expertise and fitted with ZEISS lenses across the range. Each frame weighs 18 grams.

The collection spans ten distinct colorways across four models. Every colorway is a limited edition – once gone, never reproduced. There is no seasonal revision.

Four Models

IRIS – Three Colorways: Bronze · Jade · Moss

Named after the divine messenger of the heavens and the personification of the rainbow, IRIS acts as a structural link between the observer and the visible spectrum. It is a study in transparency – the ancient symbolism of the bridge between realms translated into a modern optical form.

NOUS – Two Colorways: Navy · Obsidian

NOUS represents the intellect in its purest state – the faculty of the mind that perceives truth intuitively. The frame commands attention through strict geometric lines and a striking titanium double bridge. A solid rectangular architecture with deep lens tints, stripped of all decoration to emphasize raw structural discipline.

PTERON – Three Colorways: Azure · Charcoal · Hunter

PTERON signifies the wing – the ancient symbol of flight, freedom, and liberation from the terrestrial. A contemporary translation of the classic aviator silhouette: fluid teardrop contours, an exceptionally lightweight titanium construction, and gradient lenses that create a subtle interplay of light and shadow.

KAIROS – Two Colorways: Amber · Crystal

KAIROS transcends the linear measurement of seconds – it is the qualitative moment where destiny meets decision. Soft oval contours and an ultra-fine, barely-there titanium profile. This minimalist construction is engineered to complement the natural geometry of the face, projecting a quiet intellectual presence detached from trend.

Moda Sofia 26 opens on 11 September 2026. The Archē collection is available exclusively online across Europe – elevenspectacles.com.
