Crap Eyewear

Art Direction

Sunglasses are often marketed as purely functional protection against the elements. But for a generation navigating constant uncertainty, eyewear represents something more: a calculated shift in perspective. When the world feels chaotic, the right frames act as a shield and a filter.

To capture the brand's "Don't Worry, Be Crappy" ethos, we moved beyond standard lifestyle imagery to explore that internal shift. We focused on the narrative that when reality feels broken, you don't necessarily need to fix it—you just need a different lens. We visualized this by blending cinematic high-def with raw, lo-fi VHS aesthetics to mirror the brand’s balance of premium quality and accessible cool.

Following three characters through moments of personal transition, we utilized distorted lenses and kinetic, first-person POV shots to literally put the viewer inside the frame. The campaign invites the audience to stop looking at the product, and start looking through it.
