To launch the Burberry Spark eyewear collection for men and women, Luxottica's Burberry Eyewear presents British musicians Coastal Cities, The Night VI and Broken Hands. Curated by Burberry chief creative officer Christopher Bailey, the campaign was shot in London and celebrates emerging British music talent. Its soundtrack consists of three new singles by the cast, and each track is accompanied by an exclusive music video recorded on set in London and released in May 2013.

Australian singer, songwriter and DJ, Kate Elsworth stars in The Monocle Order’s short film, Always Carry a Spare. Presented as a cautionary tale based on true accurate events, the film reports that “In March 2013, reports of sunglasses theft in Miami spiked to their highest levels ever recorded,” and “84 percent of sunglasses are stolen by someone you know.” With a soundtrack featuring the song “Thought We Were Alone” by Lucky Paul feat. Milosh (Gadi Mizrahi & Eli Gold Money Vs Gold Remix), the film cleverly calls attention to The Monocle Order’s Blood and Tears collection with Elsworth’s awaking to find a note left behind about her stolen sunglasses. Luckily, she has plenty of spares available.
