ETNIA BARCELONA LAUNCHES ITS NEW GLOBAL BRAND CAMPAIGN: #BEANARTIST SERIES 3 including Salvator Mundi and Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo, Young Woman with a Unicorn by Raphael or Boy Bit- ten by a Lizard by Caravaggio, among others. Each and every campaign pho- tograph becomes a unique creation where classical elements of the original works co-exist with contemporary ele- ments. This is a space where nothing is what it seems at first glance. E tnia Barcelona remains loyal to its Anartist manifesto with the presentation of new images for its global brand campaign, #BeAnartist Series 3, to celebrate the launch of its new SS 2018 collection. The independent eyewear brand once again reinterprets classic styles, giving them a new lease of life in a new space, a new time and, especially, a new color. Once again, Etnia Barcelona takes its inspiration from classic art and reinter- prets it from its own point of view with the help of rule-breaking photographer Biel Capllonch: images that emulate full-scale paintings, such as Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix or The Triumph of Bacchus by Velázquez, and others that reinvent portrait paintings For this season, Etnia Barcelona is introducing new styles for its Vintage and Originals eyewear collections, with a total of 37 new designs: 32 optical models and five sunglass styles. Styles that have natural acetate frames with rounded profiles and new color and texture arrangements. The metallic styles have geometric and hexagonal profiles that are light and slightly an- gled, clearly influenced by the 1970s. When it comes to color, the brand ex- tends the “reART- ing” concept, which reflects the current trend of reinterpret- ing art history to in- spire and create new collections. The ex- clusive acetates at Etnia Barcelona are small pictorial works of art that com- bine checkered patterns with cheerful, pointillist colors, POP colors and solid shades. A tribute to the paintings and artists that inspire us. For the sunglasses collection, this sea- son Etnia Barcelona introduces the concept of a micro pair of glasses with warm-colored lenses that are either soft tinted or midnight lenses. Mineral lenses in pink, blue and orangish for metal frames that have been reduced in size with an anatomical bridge without nose pads. Styles with a very trendy retro-futuristic flair. Creative liberty and challenging tra- ditional artistic conventions. Because each eyewear product manifests an attitude and a different way of view- ing and understanding the world. Be- cause vision is personal, unique and non-transferable. Because the gaze has to be Anartist. Etnia Barcelona invites you to join this movement, to look it right in the eye, forget about any limits and be free. #BeAnartist.
