Karen Walker Eyewear Campaign Shot in Kenya

New Zealand eyewear designer Karen Walker has shot her Spring 2014 ad campaign starring the craftspeople involved in the making of the product. Partnering with the United Nations ITC Ethical Fashion Initiative, these subjects are also the producers of the screen-printed pouches that are included with every pair of sunglasses sold. It's a genius idea that's not only visually interesting, but also creates social value and shines a light on community-based artisans in Kenya.
