In 1995. a movie changed the way we looked at and documented youth culture. Kids. the film. brought together an amateur cast of real-life New York City kids. portraying their lives with raw authenticity. Directed by Larry Clark. the movie was so powerful that it shed light on a generation most preferred not to talk about - unintentionally capturing a pivotal moment in time.
The VF Casper pays homage to a character from Kids. taking design cues from the very city where the story unfolded. The bold. unisex shape reflects New York's architecture. while vintage acetate from the '90s reinforces its timeless appeal. This frame is built to make a statement - just as bold today as it was then.
