In an elegant fashion campaign video that takes cues from youth tattoo culture, gender-neutral streetwear brand Shades of Black positions itself as a company that values stylish simplicity and contemporary design. The second promo of the SOB brand is captivating to say the least. Shot by famed photographer Tony Duran, the fashion campaign video illustrates Shades of Black's philosophy to deliver chic and confidence-boosting streetwear that fits everyone across the spectrum.
