The Backstory:
My brand has always been a vessel for me to share my experience - often through design. And while graphics have been the primary vehicle for me to communicate through LL, they’re not the sole means for me to channel the truth about my existence into creative outlets. When I first began working on introducing sunglasses into the LL ecosystem, my first step was to gain inspiration from my father, who had a deep love for accessories - jewelry, watches, and sunglasses.
I considered the frames he wore, and the timelessness of everything in his collection - all of which I kept after he passed away, and still wear to this day. I felt a responsibility to consider and respect timelessness, as there is something to be said of products that stay in your rotation through generations. This consideration prioritized the need to exercise restraint, and make something that reflected a forever mentality rather than a hyper-contemporary approach that would age out in under a decade.
“The Oscar” is a thank you, a gift, and a peace offering to my father. It’s a way to say that I’m honoured to have learned from him, and to have found ways to see our connection long after he passed on. I hope the ways that this process has manifested itself resonate with you, and if nothing else, the design speaks to a want for forever. It’s the least I could do, which is exactly what I wanted at a time that can feel like everyone is wanting to do far too much.
