Etnia Barcelona Introduces “Be Anartist” New Global Brand Campaign

Etnia Barcelona introduces “BE ANARTIST”, its new global campaign inspired by the icons of cinema and art, by the photographer Biel Capllonch.

Based on the artistic avant-gardes, Etnia Barcelona has created a Manifesto and an Anartist Decalogue, composed by 11 commandments, to deepen in its brand identity and to claim that the brand is more than colour, culture and quality.

“BE ANARTIST” is a campaign composed by different photographs that express the Anartist’s attitude, that challenge the viewer, provoking him. Filled with film references, the campaign photos recall mythical movie scenes such as “A Clockwork Orange”, “The Big Lebowski” or ”Pulp Fiction” and they are a tribute to movie directors such as Hitchcock, Lynch, the Coen Brothers or Kubrick.

All of the pictures have a common element: all the Anartists are wearing Etnia Barcelona’s
glasses. A campaign where all the eyewear collections of the brand are the protagonists.

Each collection responds to some concerns and conveyed and expressed through the creations. Different collections for different personalities: Originals for the purest ones, Advance for the techies, Vintage for the old school lovers and Capsules for the most daring ones.

Biel Capllonch is photographer bonded to the image of the Sonar Music Festival from many years, for its transgressive aesthetics and cultural references. His work is irreverent and highly influenced by the world of cinema, strengthening the cinematographic aspect of his photos. This is precisely what he has done for the “BE ANARTIST” campaign, capturing the “Anartist” essence of Etnia Barcelona in each of the scenes.

Warby Parker Unveils ‘Prescription Check’ Smartphone App

Warby Parker’s new Prescription Check is a mobile refraction service available for computer and smartphones that allows the user to check if their prescription has changed.

A short introductory video on Warby Parker’s website explains that the approximately 20-minute long vision test requires a phone, computer, a credit card (for measurement purposes) and a room with about 12 feet of space.

The results of the vision test will be sent to an eye doctor affiliated with Warby Parker, who can approve the prescription if it is unchanged or recommend a comprehensive eye exam. Warby Parker’s website emphasizes that the refraction test is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam from an eye doctor.

Initially only customers residing in the states of California, New York, Virginia and Florida are eligible, and only if they have no history of eye disease and if they have a prescription with sphere power between 0 and -6.0 diopters and cylinder between 0 and -2.0 diopters.

Warby Parker announces that they have plans to increase the number of eligible states and customers “soon.”

The technology in the Prescription Check app is similar to the controversial online vision tests developed by Opternative, and according to TechCrunch Warby Parker had considered buying the technology before deciding to build their own.
