Cinematic Archetype with Modern Industrial Precision
The Director is inspired by the authoritative yet creative presence of cinema directors throughout history. It is part of Portrait's Essentials series, which focuses on "artistic archetypes"—designs that celebrate the pure core of classic eyewear shapes while infusing them with the brand's signature edgy, experimental DNA.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Premium Hybrid Construction: The frame features a high-performance combination of top-quality Italian acetate and a structural core of premium stainless steel and titanium inserts. This ensures a comfortable, long-lasting fit that is resistant to deformation.
Handcrafted in Italy: Each piece is meticulously produced by skilled Italian artisans who merge traditional bench-work techniques with cutting-edge technology to achieve unparalleled quality.
Architectural Detailing: True to Portrait’s trademark style, The Director features clean pantograph cuts and a careful balance between smooth, hand-polished surfaces and sharp, architectural edges.
Sustainable Production: Manufactured using environmentally friendly and energy-efficient methods. The brand prioritizes ethical, non-exploitative working environments and local Italian craftsmanship.
Fit & Ergonomics
Contemporary Squared Silhouette: A classic shape reimagined for modern faces. The squared profile provides a structured look that is particularly effective for balancing round and oval face shapes.
Finely Tuned Comfort Accents: The integration of titanium inserts allows the frame to remain lightweight despite its solid appearance, preventing fatigue during extended periods of wear.
Prescription Ready: Designed to accommodate a wide range of lens types, including high-correction single vision and complex progressive lenses, thanks to the stability of its high-density acetate front.

Expert Note
Expert Note: The Director is the "bridge" model in the Portrait collection—it is bold enough to be a statement piece but classic enough for conservative professional environments. Its 52mm lens width and 20mm bridge create a standard "Average" fit that is highly versatile. It is an ideal choice for someone who wants the luxury and story of Portrait Eyewear without the aggressive asymmetry found in their more avant-garde collections.
