Laibach & York // The Pride

On one of the rare sunny winter days in Amsterdam, Liam is wearing the model “Amsterdam Pride” from the Rare collection of Laibach & York. We created this photoshoot to support the LGTBQ community, which is probably clear with him waving his flag with pride. The same goes for this rare edition frame by Laibach, which is made out of 26 singular pieces of acetate, laminated together to create this rainbow look and celebrating Pride worldwide!

All frames from their Rare collection support either a charity or are into current affairs. Their Carnica frame, for instance, features a black and gold striped acetate lamination, in support of the struggling bee community, where their TP2020 frame is fitted with a layer of toilet paper between two sheets of clear acetate. for obvious reasons. They also have an ultra-rare collection that comes in a very limited amount of colours, where only up to 24 pieces are made, sometimes even just a single piece!

But most famous of course is their Capital collection, featuring 13 models in sometimes over 50 available colours. Their factory is able to create such an amazing diversity of colours due to their fast stock of vintage acetate, which besides being pretty, also has structural benefits.
