Self-expression as an act of resistance.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a world ruled by humanoid machines that erase memories, identities and differences, a robot named EV11<\/strong> discovers a briefcase with a pair of Clubmasters<\/strong> inside. When he puts them on, something changes: a flash of memory, the beginnings of consciousness. Branded a deviant, he escapes the simulation and reappears in the real world as Kim<\/strong>. There he finds other rebels who, like him, have awakened. The final gesture\u2014placing a pair of Ray-Ban<\/strong>s on a sleeping girl\u2014is the beginning of a new cycle of liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is no coincidence that these glasses become the catalyst for change: in this dystopian universe, the brand<\/a><\/strong> symbolises the crack in the system, the spark of individuality that refuses to be erased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch took place in Seongsu-dong<\/strong> (Seoul), Korea<\/strong>‘s creative epicentre and cultural hub that is setting the tone for a global generation. With this, the brand continues to set the pace for a global generation, connecting with Gen Z through authentic international phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
