Without wanting to get too metaphorical about it, you might say that a pair of glasses represents the lens through which we see (and interpret) the world. It’s hard not to image that was on Advan Matthews’ mind in creating this latest shoot – titled Mind Tricks – in which studs, pearls, spikes and flowers spread their way across glasses and visors. Styled by Bonniedegio Courto, it’s a rare sartorial situation in which it becomes less about how other people view the wearer, and more about how the wearer views the world.
Is it the mind playing tricks, or is it just the lens you’re seeing through?

With hair and makeup by Dewi Darmawan, you can view all of the shoot by Advan Matthew (advanmatthew.com) at the gallery.
