HYSTERIC GLAMOUR ADVERTISMENT ARCHIVE (1990’S-2000’S)

Hysteric Glamour has always occupied its own lane. Equal parts punk, pop culture, Americana, and outright chaos, the brand spent decades producing some of the most memorable advertising campaigns in fashion. While many of these images still exist scattered across the forgotten corners of the internet, they are rarely collected in one place.

ACi has collected a selection of Hysteric Glamour adverts and magazine samples spanning multiple eras of the brand. From celebrity campaigns (Courtney Love) to surreal graphics and unmistakable visual styling, these ads helped define the rebellious identity that made Hysteric Glamour a cult favorite around the world.

Collected and archived and scanned by Awfully Creative. FOR MORE ARTIFACTS SEEEK US AT THE GALLLERY

OAKLEY BRAZIL ADVERT (2026)

One thing I love about great campaign work is when it pushes a product beyond its intended purpose. This Brazil-shot Oakley project by Seasonshop Marseille and visual artist Cesxcommercial does exactly that.
Using the iconic Scar silhouette as a larger-than-life visual element, the campaign turns everyday streets into something futuristic. The frame stops feeling like eyewear and starts feeling like a symbol.

What makes it work is how naturally the Scar fits this treatment. Its sharp lines and aggressive shape have always looked more like industrial design than a traditional pair of sunglasses. Blown up across the city, that energy becomes impossible to ignore.

A simple idea executed the right way. Sometimes all it takes is putting a familiar object in an unfamiliar place.

APHEX TWIN GRUNGE PHOTOSHOOT BY MARTYN GOODACRE (1996)

One thing I love about artist photography is how it reflects not just the subject, but also the photographer’s style, lens, and even an entire era. When I think of 1990s grunge photography, Martyn Goodacre immediately comes to mind. His work perfectly captures that raw, unmistakable aesthetic. Seeing Aphex Twin through a Nirvana style lens, rendered in stark black and white with strong contrast, is especially striking. This is a rare shoot. For more ARTifacts, seek us out at the GALLLERY.
