MEET M00nglasses Eva Sainte Rose is a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles Her artist name stems from the concept of looking at the world through a new lens Instead of wearing your sunglasses why not look at life from a different perspective by wearing M00nglasses The zeros in my name are a way to visually represent the glasses she explains Originally when I was thinking of artist names I was very interested in spiritual feminism In many cultures and belief systems the moon represents the feminine so I also wanted to include that symbolism in my brand While Eva is not solely focused on creating work around the theme of the divine feminine anymore she does like to think that her work has a reflection of consciousness in it She spent six years living in a spiritual community actively meditating and learning about Eastern Philosophy I ve spent a lot of time ruminating on human potential and evolution into higher states of consciousness so that is a theme that I like to explore in my art she says When not making work around this theme she often likes to make pieces with strong visual references Some of her favorite things to reference are retro design elements all things kitsch and digital folk art m00nglasses Eva has shot directed and edited music videos for many musicians and artists When not working on projects with other people she likes to spearhead her own projects Her work has been featured in multiple digital art collectives and online magazines like Feltzine Post Vision Tax Collection Friday Magazine gIRL zine and more
100 YEARS OF FASHION WITH A 100 YEAR OLD M00nglasses s lastest project was an Evolution of Music and Fashion Video to celebrate her grandfather Stan s 100th birthday The video shows Stan wearing outfits and dancing to music from each decade of his life The video starts with the centenarian answering a phone call from his granddaughter where she suggests that they go time traveling for his 100th birthday He agrees and is suddenly transformed into 1920 s garb with a flapper dancing in the background Throughout the decades we see many costume and background changes with some reoccurring themes Who knew that the 1930 s fedora would have a resurgence in popularity during the 2010 s hipster era or that the 1980 s Adidas slides would be so trendy during the 2020 s The video pays homage to the significant cultural themes from the last 100 years After Stan teleports from the speakeasy of the 1920 s we see labor strikes in the 30 s soldiers preparing for WWII in the 40s the Elvis inspired greaser of the 50 s the British invasion of the 60 s disco in the 70 s Jazzercise in the 80 s Seinfeld in the 90 s Wordart and cubicle life of the 00 s millennials at Coachella in the 10 s and the tie dye bucket hat phenomenon of the 2020 s My grandpa is my favorite person He is the most young at heart and jovial human that I ve ever met He never lets his age get in the way of having fun said the artist The most impressive part of the video is that Stan has actually lived through all of these moments in history He has listened to Louis Armstrong on a phonograph he has played the Beatles on a jukebox he has danced to A Ha on a walkman he has downloaded Coldplay on an iPod and he has streamed Gotye on Spotify Not only is this Time Traveling video a personal tribute from a granddaughter expressing her love and appreciation for her grandfather but it also is a tribute to the music fashion and culture of the last 100 years in America
The Future of Fashion We originally featured M00nglasses s video on our website and were so excited about it that we decided to do a follow up editorial shoot Since the video already demonstrated what the last 100 years of fashion looked like we wanted to take a step further and show the future of fashion with both Eva and Stan wearing our very own clothing collection The shoot was photographed by Kevin Hayeland and collaged by M00nglasses Both of the models are exclusively wearing Mundane Clothing
