It’s all about eyes this forthcoming season, and what better way to complement your perfect party frock with a little specs appeal courtesy of Dior and Robert Callander Opticians. This Saturday, 17 November, Scottish Ballet Soloist Sophie Martin, the face of Linlithgow’s Robert Callander Opticians, will be pirouetting in store to launch Dior’s ultra-stylish Autumn Winter Collection. Sophie will be signing autographs and sharing some of her backstage secrets as well as offering fans the chance to win tickets to see her in action this Christmas in the Company’s forthcoming World Premiere of The Sleeping Beauty.

This exclusive invitation only event allows award-winning optician Robert Callander the chance to share the benefits of an exciting new sponsorship, part of Scottish Ballet’s innovative Sponsor a Dancer campaign, with his much valued customers.

French-born Sophie Martin joined Scottish Ballet as an artist in 2003 and was promoted to soloist last year. Sophie has danced several leading roles with the Company and her exemplary performance and technique work have brought her to the attention of audiences and critics alike.

Look out for Sophie as the face of Robert Callander’s new promotional campaign where Sophie continues to develop her reputation for flair and precision as style ambassador for the Linlithgow-based optician. Sophie also currently appears on the stunning poster for the forthcoming world premiere of Scottish Ballet’s The Sleeping Beauty, which opens this Christmas in Glasgow in December before touring to Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and Newcastle throughout January and February next year.

Since opening in 2001, Robert Callander has been providing Linlithgow with outstanding eye care, offering customers an extra-special bespoke eyewear design service, and his clients include members of European Royalty. In store, customers will find designer frames from the likes of Gucci, and Dior’s Autumn Winter Collection is perfect for a new look in time for the party season. His exquisite selection of frames and unbeatable customer service has led to him becoming something of a local celebrity, not to mention winning the Business Excellence Award for New Business Start Up in 2002.
