Luxottica releases second Ray-Ban communication campaign by Steven Klein

Luxottica has again teamed up with renowned American photographer Steven Klein for the second in a series of communication campaigns for Ray-Ban.

The campaign features four shots starring four singular characters, each embodying a Ray-Ban icon. The images celebrate the liberating force of the road trip, interpreted as a “metaphorical escape from the constraints of modern society”. The narrative is a continuation of Steven Klein’s 2017 campaign story in which the protagonists shook off their past to free themselves.

“Wind in her hair and no fixed destination:” The protagonist wears the Wayfarer Blaze, Ray-Ban’s mirror block reinvention of the iconic 50s design
“With the straight-jacket of the city in the rearview mirror the protagonist drives into a never ending sunset”: The protagonist wears a pair of Ray-Ban Marshal, a modern take on the tribute to the pioneering spirit of lieutenant Douglas MacArthur, launched in 1987

“It’s about freedom and letting go,” explained Klein. “Living in turbulent times, one of the things that evokes that for many people is a road trip. This campaign represents that no matter what hardships come your way, you can be an individual, go on your own path and experience fun, optimism, creativity, love… everybody’s looking for their own personal freedom.”

The protagonists each wear a Ray-Ban icon, an extension of their distinct personalities: The Marshal, Wayfarer Blaze, Aviator Evolve and Hexagonal.

Alongside the images the campaign also features a video campaign, four separate character videos and additional digital content, revealing more about the protagonists’ unique personal odysseys.
