Our Grand Opening Event in the Downtown Los Angeles Fashion District showcased more than just sunglasses. It was an interactive experience featuring some of the most talented artists in the market. Their stunning installations instantly inspired us to keep the momentum going, and Get Artsy with PERVERSE was born.

Our first-ever Get Artsy with PERVERSE event showcases Brandon Deener (@BRANDON_DEENER), who you should be following on Instagram. NOW. This seriously talented and utterly self-taught artist will show his work for a limited time at a special event on September 30, 2016 from 4-8 pm at our Downtown Los Angeles Showroom.
