009 [ AMAZING ] LEGENDARY campaign This year L.A. based brand l.a.Eyeworks celebrates its 30th anniversary. From 1979 they surprise us again and again with colourful frames and sunglasses, most of them inspired by their close connections to the world of arts and design. One of their best ideas, besides all the great eyewear, was the launch of a legendary advertising campaign which today is not only still alive but also as actual and contemporary as if it was invented yesterday. Indeed, “a face is like a work of art…it deserves a great frame”. Over the years many celebrities were photographed for this unique campaign including Andy Warhol, Brian Ferry, Dame Edna, Martina Navratilova, Pierce Brosnan, Rutger Hauer, Sharon Stone, Stephen Sprouse, Rufus Wainwright, Phillip Glass, Pedro Almodovar and most recently Phillipe Blond, of the famous fashion design duo The Blonds, wearing the sizzling Kowalski frame.
