Christina Ricci takes center stage in eyewear designer Warby Parker‘s Spring 2023 campaign as the original Wednesday Addams stars alongside playwright Jeremy O’Harris, artist and jeweler Arpana Rayamajhi and Euphoria‘s Henry Eikenberry, modeling Warby Parker’s newest expressive and statement-making styles.
The actor reveals her wishes for the season, sharing “In the new year, 2023, I would like to see more happiness, more fun, more calm, and less insanity in the news.” She’s certainly in luck as the collection brings much-needed clarity in the new year as the assortment of frames look nothing like your librarian’s glasses. Ocean-hued cat-eyed frames add some zest to your average workday, whereas polygonal emerald green options will have you catching your colleague’s eye.
When sunnier days are on the calendar, sunglasses deliver additional pops of color arrive in the form of a yellow silhouette and green lenses. Classic options appear in the form of “Whiskey” and black tortoise shell iterations with gradient detailing. Meanwhile, chic rounded sunglasses offer effortless elegance and shine alongside bold blue translucent shades.
According to their website, Warby Parker eyewear was started to create an alternative to an eyewear industry dominated by a single company that kept prices artificially high and reaping huge benefits, leaving consumers with no other options. “By circumventing traditional channels, designing glasses in-house, and engaging with customers directly, we’re able to provide higher-quality, better-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the going price. We believe that buying glasses should be easy and fun. It should leave you happy and good-looking, with money in your pocket.”
Warby Parker also puts their profits where their principles are. 2.5 billion people around the world need glasses but don’t have access to them; of these, 624 million cannot effectively learn or work due to the severity of their visual impairment. To help address this problem, WP works with a handful of partners worldwide to ensure that for every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need. To date, over eight million pairs of glasses have been distributed through their Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.
There’s nothing complicated about it. Good eyewear, good outcome. The newest styles are available on the brand’s online store.
