Making a spectacle


This has to be the nicest ambient/guerrilla stunt idea I've seen in ages.

For a spectacle brand of all things!

Warby Parker looks to me to be a pretty hip brand. So this idea suits them to a tee.

During NY Fashion Week a group of hot young Warby Parker wearing models made themselves comfortable at the reading tables in the NY Public Library.

Then they all pulled out a book and sat reading for a while.

As you can see in the pic all the book dust jackets were a pale blue colour.

And each one carried the style name of the glasses the model was wearing as the title of the book.

Pretty cute huh?

No idea.
But I wrote about it on the other side of the world.
So I guess it did.

love the whole ethos of warby parker. tried to buy a pair last year but run up against the 'no deliveries outside the US' thing. the same happened recently with audyssey and their lower east side speakers, v. cool but too much drama to buy
