Ørgreen Presents Twenty-Six Rolls

Ørgreen Optics presents Twenty-Six Rolls, a Spring/Summer 2026 campaign centered on precision, creativity, and intentional design. Inspired by the exact number of film rolls used to capture the collection, Ørgreen reflects its commitment to thoughtful design and individuality throughout the campaign. For the new season, the brand’s Sheet Titanium series returns to elegant proportions and clean lines. New additions stand out with slimmer profiles, lighter structures, and slightly more voluminous yet clearly defined geometries. Quantum High explores sculptural, three dimensional forms, where minimal titanium temples integrate seamlessly with bold surfaces. Ørgreen’s acetate group introduces a warmer and more contemporary energy. Soft colour transitions and flowing lines reinterpret the confident spirit of the 1970s through a modern lens. The Imaginary Lines series, defined by clean geometries and deep three dimensional ring details, expands with versatile new models that allow smooth transitions from optical frames to sunwear. New additions to the Acetate Cut series, which combines acetate and titanium, present sharp silhouettes enriched with depth and colour.

Police x Zac Efron Capsule Series Launched

Police has unveiled its new capsule collection of sunglasses created in collaboration with American actor Zac Efron. In the Zac Efron x Police Special Capsule, the SPLU82 sunglasses, made from Acetate Renew with bio-based nylon lenses, emphasize Police’s commitment to sustainability. The design is personalized with the actor’s original signature on the outside of the temples. What sets the SPLU82 apart from other models in the capsule collection is the studs on the front featuring the iconic peace symbol, representing Zac Efron’s environmental awareness and commitment to global peace. The distinctive elements of the SPLU82 are completed by the gothic “P” logo on the temple tips. Another highlight of the capsule, the SPLU84V, is specially designed for outdoor sports. Notable for its cutting-edge optical innovation, the model’s exclusive IRID® electronic lenses adjust the sun filter instantly and automatically without a battery. As external light changes, the lenses adapt in approximately 0.09 seconds—100 times faster than conventional photochromic lenses.

Blackfin Focuses on Ultra-Lightness

Blackfin reflects its evolution toward ultra-lightness and contemporary expression with the SS26 campaign. While the season’s visual language presents a more open and atmospheric character, the brand deliberately moves away from concrete settings to focus on the values that define its essence: precision, clarity, and a modern attitude. In the new season, lightness for Blackfin goes beyond being a purely technical feature and becomes a guiding design principle. Clean forms, reduced compositions, and carefully balanced proportions come together with the engineering discipline that has become a signature of the brand. The new collection features refined three-dimensional structures, tactile surfaces, and engraving details unique to Blackfin’s manufacturing process. Color also takes on a new role this season. Strategically applied gradient transitions soften volumes and visually reduce weight, lending even bold silhouettes a sense of lightness and elegance. In the new season, Blackfin One is presented with strong new macro shapes that explore the tension between sharper lines, dynamic angles, and the contrast between circular softness and square precision. Meanwhile, Blackfin Pacific, the minimalist line that first introduced the concept of structural lightness to the brand, expands with contemporary forms and elevated surface finishes.

Modo Launches Smart Eyewear Brand

New York–based House of Modo has unveiled its new smart eyewear brand, EyeFly. EyeFly combines the brand’s commitment to lightness, durability, and all-day comfort with next-generation smart glasses technology. Thanks to integrated audio technology, users can listen to music and podcasts, make phone calls, and interact with AI assistants without the need for headphones, cables, or screens. With its interchangeable smart temples, EyeFly offers the flexibility to use technology when needed or leave it behind entirely. This approach presents a compelling alternative for users who live closely connected to technology while also choosing to distance themselves from it consciously. House of Modo Founder and Ceo Alessandro Lanaro said: “With EyeFly, we are excited to enter the tech world with a product that condenses the real functionality of today’s wearable technology into frames that look and feel premium. By focusing on audio only, we offer an open-ear experience that keeps you connected while preserving both your privacy and that of the person you are talking to. For everyday use, we believe video is not only unnecessary but can even feel intrusive, which is why ‘Sound in Motion’ has such huge potential—and we intend to lead this new category in the optical industry.”
