The Reason the Subjects Wear Cutler and Gross Eyewear

ONE TRIP PASS—This project, using photography as a medium, collaborates with various artists, media, and regional cultures. It aims to "celebrate unique individuals and their endeavors," showcasing creative people across diverse fields such as winemaking, woodworking, tattoo artistry, and many other crafts. Interspersed with beautiful landscapes from Northern California, it introduces their individuality and creations.



Jay Carroll, who photographs these subjects and travels extensively for this project, is not only involved with Levi's but also spearheads the ONE TRIP PASS initiative. California supports this project, and it has also partnered with GQ USA.

Many of the subjects in this project wear Cutler and Gross eyewear, whose timeless and distinctive frames enhance their individual characters.



This exhibition, "ONE TRIP PASS @ GLOBE SPECS," is introduced in Japan through Eva Soroken, who bridges America, Europe, and Japan. The exhibition at Globe Specs Shibuya was chosen due to a shared value of "curating individuality and essential value."



Jay Carroll

As a concept designer for Levi's USA, he is active in planning future projects and designs, as well as the conceptualization and management of flagship stores. His talent is evident, as he was recruited for his current role by Levi's management precisely for his "ability to discover value in things and concepts that others overlook."
