Ace & Tate teamed up with Appelsap to create two bold, festival frames. The campaign brings together the iconic hiphop scene of Amsterdam and London, and two rising stars, fearless female artists from both cities, RIMON (NL) and Flohio (UK). The collaboration between the Dutch eyewear brand and Amsterdam’s much- loved hip-hop festival is a celebration of young, emerging talent — it also represents the union of two cities, as well as cultures and communities.

The concept of the campaign is based on the line ‘I spy with my little eye’, and is shot in film to better capture two different perspectives, side by side. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the artists were each filmed separately on the closest coastlines that connect the two countries: Kent and Zeeland. With the space and distance to reflect, visuals express their contrasting yet intertwining lives: whether it’s something inside themselves or happening out in the world.
