LINDA FARROW > A Surrealist Dream
For Autumn/Winter 25, LINDA FARROW is inspired by surrealist art, emphasising the extraordinary beauty of unexpected combinations of form, shape and texture. Whilst remaining true to the iconic DNA of the brand, the design focus is innovative and imaginative, evoking a sense of escape and creative exploration where the wearer is empowered to experiment with self-expression.
The campaign, 'A Surrealist Dream' was shot on location at the British Museum and on the streets of London. Representing a formidable collision of art and history, the stunning backdrop of the British Museum highlights the artistic roots of the collection, and its steadfast links to the city. In the urban environment outside, the campaign perfectly captures the dynamic blend of history and modernity, mirroring all the while a surrealist dreamscape. Together these locations reflect how the collection transitions from artful dreamlike spaces to the vibrancy of everyday life.
The Autumn/Winter 25 optical collection features examples of the quintessential design language of LINDA FARROW. Model Alicia blends layered titanium with fine acetate for a bold yet wearable look, while model Yves re-imagines the much-loved Calthorpe silhouette in full titanium, with cutaway detailing that highlights the brand's iconic double colour technique.
In keeping with the surrealist inspiration, the sunglasses collection emanates with a bold and daring mood through design details and colours. The rectangular Emmy sunglasses featured in polished acetate are characterised by a lens-filled cutout in the wide temple like a window - a nod to surrealism's unexpected combinations. The innovative spirit of the line is also clearly illustrated by model Flick, with its embedded lens on top of the acetate, blurring the lines between frame and lens.
The Autumn/Winter 25 optical and sunglasses collections will be shown for the first time at MIDO from 8th to 10th February 2025. You can also find Linda Farrow at LOFT NYC in New york March 13-15 at Chelsea industrial.
