As the chilling winds of October sweep in, Lenskart unveils a spine-tingling collaboration with renowned Singaporean visual artist, Howie Kim. Dubbed “Bongdirk’s Nightmare,” this collection promises to be a haunting treat for eyewear enthusiasts.
A Glimpse into Bongdirk’s Nightmare

Howie Kim, known for his surrealistic art that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, has meticulously designed each frame. “I imagined Bongdirk as various horror film characters and the eyewear they would wear,” says Kim.
