The campaign is a declaration of their principles and to showcase their intent as a brand. Their aim is to have an open and universal invitation for us to look at things from a different perspective, to be illogical and to apply what they call as “backward thinking”. A new term coined by the people at Desigual, as a way to describe their new creative methodology based on the logic of the illogical where the brand explored new perspectives and different approaches to design.
The campaign, filmed exclusively in Barcelona and directed by Lisa Boostani, is to invite people to turn things around and apply their so-called “backward thinking” in everyday life.
Famous for the individuality and unique character of its creations, Desigual always aims to bring positivity and authenticity to those who want to express the best version of themselves. Discover the brand’s new creative direction campaign and some keys looks below.
