Etnia Barcelona, an independent eyewear brand, launches Chroma, a new premium collection that redefines the limits of color and shape with a sophisticated and exuberant explosion of colors and contrasts. Each piece, created with meticulous attention to detail and a passion for innovation and design, stands out for its play of contrasts: bold geometric shapes, pronounced volumes, and extreme colors.
The FW24 collection, debuting with Chroma, includes 14 eyewear models for women and men, featuring mainly feminine cat-eye shapes and milky, transparent, and solid acetates that create an elegant contrast. Among other details, the innovation of the raw finish on the Chroma models stands out, creating distinctive marks on each pair of glasses that add unique character and highlight their singularity. Additionally, the inside of the temple is engraved with the logo, with color variations on each model, adding a personalized touch.
Chroma through the eyes of photographer Zhong Lin
For the launch of Chroma and its first FW24 collection, Etnia Barcelona invites us to experience color in a completely new way. The campaign, named after the collection, immerses us in the beauty of color and takes us on a journey through the emotional depth it can evoke, inviting us to explore new dimensions through color.
The images recreate different universes that, like the collection itself, play with contrasts of colors, shapes, and textures. Each scene is represented by a color: red, orange, pink, and blue. A testimony of how color can transform, elevate, and define our perception of the world around us.
For the Chroma campaign, Etnia Barcelona has collaborated with renowned photographer Zhong Lin. Known for her unique ability to recreate universes that blur the boundaries of the real and the abstract, Lin has captured her personal vision of color, taking us to explore new worlds through her lens. A campaign that leads us to a deep reflection on the emotional impact that color evokes in us.
