The campaign imagery features shoes from the collection that are drenched in fluorescent slime. The striking colours and positioning of the slime highlight the detailing on the heels, slip-ons and sneakers, and create a modern, 3D-Baroque style.
The artificial nature of the gradient backdrops, coupled with the use of lurid colours, highlight Camper’s shift in brand positioning away from its rustic origins towards a more modern, arts-driven narrative.
As a Gen Viz influencer, Sebastian often seeks to subvert established design principles and practices. ‘Part of what I do is about changing perceptions on what is ugly or what is beautiful,’ he told Dazed.
The Big Picture
Image-makers are using strange, slimy textures and coloured liquids to inject images with a sense of light-hearted fetishism. See our Sensory Assault design direction for more on this.
