You might not associate sunglasses with chains, but judging by this campaign shot by Sharon Headd for Bewear, perhaps you should. The arresting product shoot kicks off with two ad campaigns in which the male model's hand is wrapped up in giant chains.
The chain theme continues through in the Bewear packaging, in which Sharon Headd captures the sunglasses chained to their box. Fascinating!
