X8 Eyewear Campaign

with Gen Z icons Willow Smith & Harry Hudson

X8 Eyewear was created by the multi-fascinated and innovative, Won Lee, and his partner, Nikhil ‘Ra’ Sharma. After Lee left her tenure as CEO/CCO at Gentle Monster. She teamed up with entrepreneur Sharma to create a futuristic, genderless eyewear brand.

X8 Eyewear’s official campaign was shot with Gen Z icons Willow Smith and Harry Hudson. The campaign highlights the 23-piece collecion that transcends gender labels. With fluid cool oversize shapes and architectural flourishes with a variety of shapes, colors and lens tints.

“I was honored to join the X8 Anima/Animus campaign because I loved the messaging of gender fluidity and the duality of masculine and feminine energies. That I believe exists inside every one of us. We had so much fun shooting this concept with my dear friend, Harry,” says Smith. Who is an actress, singer/ songwriter, and talk show host known for her progressive personal style.

“I was inspired by X8’s creative vision of two forces working together in harmony with one another. A lot of my music has been about balancing the light/dark & the masculine/feminine energy of life. So that idea of true duality really spoke to me and made me want to be a part of this campaign. Also, shooting with my friend and genius Willow was too much fun,” comments Hudson. A singer/songwriter famous for documenting his battle with cancer at 21 on social media.
