Wisdom ATL x Antidote

 

On October 15th, Antidote partnered with a local luxury eyewear brand, Wisdom ATL, to produce an exclusive 3 day activation. This event highlighted a special frame Wisdom created in collaboration with Antidote, named the "Fossil Frames". Handcrafted from polycarbonate, the heavyweight accessory captures the essence of the modern perspective Antidote contributes to Atlanta's fashion community.

The first day of the event featured an evening launch party to celebrate the release of this project. Fossil frames lined the entry display while custom zines and novelty accessories were placed throughout the room for clients to experience. A Wisdom "eye exam" was hung in the middle of the room, representing the house's tagline "I Wish Everyone Could See". Clients gathered to appreciate Antidote's curated selection of garments highlighting Fall/Winter 2026 Walter Van Beirendonck and Wisdom ATL's frames.

 

 

The second day served as an opportunity to hear head designer and founder Yahya Latif's story behind the fashion and accessory house. Moderated by Rachel Lawrence, Latif and Lawrence discussed creativity, entreprenuership, and collaboration. An intimate crowd had the opportunity to ask Latif their own questions and gain insight into the fashion industry through his eyes.

 

 

The third and final day of Wisdom's activation with Antidote combined elements from both the launch party and interview into a special "Meet the Designer" moment. Mai Açaí curated a special menu of seasonal matchas for clients to enjoy while Latif was present throughout store hours. Clients had the opportunity to shop eyewear and connect with the designer.

 

Antidote continues to be a cultural hub for fashion, art, and community in Atlanta by supporting local creatives.
