Echoes of Nostalgia: A Journey Through L.A.'s Timeless Vibes – by Stephen Butkus

Panos Emporio Spring Summer 2024 Campaign

Dive into our newest collection, where the vibes of 80s and 90s Los Angeles come to life. Influenced by the iconic sounds and visuals of the era, our collection channels the excitement and inspiration of the mythical City of Angels.

"Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, Los Angeles was always an important influence in music and film. This mythical, noir-like city was exciting and inspirational, and I always dreamt of going there. This visual story captures some of the special emotions of Mulholland Drive and the City of Angels. It is shot both on film and digitally by artist Stephen Butkus."

– Hans Erik Syversen, Creative Director Panos Emporio
