During the late seventies and early eighties, one of the worst droughts in L.A.’s history occurred which drained hundreds of backyard pools all dotted around the city. These pools formed the backdrop for a group of teenagers who used the steep, smooth pools to introduce a new fashion of skateboarding.

Characterized by a low-center-of- gravity, surf-style attacks, this new style soon developed into a global craze which until today remains the base of modern skate culture.

Inspired by the concrete waves of L.A. pools, KOMONO launches a capsule of inspired glasses, watches and eyewear accessories in a striking light blue. The campaign, shot at the legendary Pink Motel, features a wide-templed Avery and rounded Ana. Combine these with a cat-eye Tony and a light blue Micro Bubble cord and Sky Mono watch.

The Light Blue capsule launches on the 11th of February at komono.com, KOMONO flagship stores and through selected retailers.

Eyewear and watches available from 59 euros, eyewear cord available for 15 euros.
