Miga Studio presents its Architecture of Vision collection for the new season. The brand focuses on structure, proportion, and material relationships rather than decorative elements in its new designs. The Taisho Bold Titan Top model stands out in Miga Studio’s new collection, which brings together Eastern and Western design cultures. The design creates a powerful contrast by combining warm-textured Takiron acetate with a titanium top line. The titanium top line, placed on top of the acetate layer reminiscent of the warmth of natural materials in Japanese architecture, defines the character of the frame like a structural beam. The model creates a balanced tension between organic volume and industrial lines through the relationship between warm and cold materials. The design draws inspiration from the Taisho period, when Western technology merged with Japanese culture. The metal core structure used in the model stands out as one of the defining elements of the design. The new handle design, featuring raw cut surfaces, gives the frame a modern and brutalist character. The newly developed duplex hinge system offers a technically precise yet extremely smooth closing motion, enhancing the user experience.

Seraphin has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The new Heirloom Refinement collection introduces classically inspired unisex styles that bridge vintage character and contemporary refinement. Premium acetate frames are polished to reveal deep, nuanced color palettes. Models such as Palmer and Sandell feature rectangular profiles accented by refined metal hardware, reinforcing the frame’s geometry without overwhelming it. Every detail feels intentional, contributing to a sense of permanence rather than decoration. Metal frames step confidently into focus this season. Chatham reinterprets the academic round shape, softened with subtle touches of lustrous color that bring warmth and accessibility to a traditionally formal silhouette. Whether round or angular, acetate or metal, the collection is deliberately inclusive, designed to flatter a wide range of faces and genders. Chief Creative Officer David Duralde approaches eyewear as a form of architecture, and shares: “Seraphin has always lived at the intersection of heritage and modern life.

Kaleos presents its men’s collection for the Spring/Summer 2026 season under the theme Unexpected Twists.

The meticulous attention to measurement, proportion, and detail in each model gives the collection a modern and timeless character. The use of high-density acetate allows for frames that are lightweight yet feature distinct lines. Some models feature sharp edges and bolder geometries, lending the designs a strong masculine influence. Many models in the collection are offered in two different sizes, aiming to preserve the character of the design while offering flexibility to the user. Technical innovations are also an important part of the collection. Screwless hinge systems, hybrid structures combining acetate with stainless steel, and titanium frames completed with high-density acetate rings showcase Kaleos’ focus on engineering and craftsmanship.

J.F. Rey’s new campaign, Life, presents a narrative that positions eyewear within the natural flow of everyday life. Inspired by the rhythm of city life, the campaign centers on spontaneous encounters and moments rather than staged scenes. Small but meaningful moments, such as a glance as you pass by, a brief phone call, or an unexpected smile, form the visual language of the campaign. J.F. Rey’s approach presents eyewear as a powerful style statement while also positioning it as a natural choice. In the campaign, eyewear is treated not as an accessory highlighted to attract attention, but as a natural extension of personality. The frames become an element that emphasizes character, harmonizing with posture, movement, and facial expression. Thus, eyewear is presented not only as an aesthetic complement but as a visual language that reflects the individual’s way of expressing themselves. The campaign also highlights strong color contrasts, eye-catching shapes, and bold compositions that reflect J.F. Rey’s design Dna. The visuals feature the brand’s iconic Sledge collection with its architectural lines alongside new metal frames developed for women. These designs reinterpret the brand’s long-standing bold design approach with a contemporary twist.

By adding Gentle Monster to the new era of Disney and Formula 1 collaborations, the three brands have created a groundbreaking eyewear collection that unites the entertainment, sports, and optical sectors. The Disney x Formula 1 x Gentle Monster collection fundamentally demonstrates how seemingly disparate cultural forces can intersect through design. In the project, Formula 1 represents speed, precision, and competitive engineering, while Disney embodies narrative depth and global imagination. Gentle Monster translates these two universes into eyewear through its architectural and forward-looking design approach. The Disney x Formula 1 x Gentle Monster eyewear collection offers designs that interpret racing aesthetics in eight distinct ways through optical craftsmanship. The interplay of Disney and Formula 1 iconography adds an additional layer of storytelling. Rather than relying solely on iconic character imagery, the collaboration channels thematic motifs such as speed lines, racing insignia, and emblematic typography into cohesive frame details. The color palettes evoke trackside intensity, highlighting matte blacks, metallic accents, and strategic contrast details. Lens applications vary across the collection, offering both functional sun protection and dimensional variety. Mirrored and tinted lenses add a futuristic touch, while darker lenses enhance urban wearability.

Cutler and Gross introduces its new collection, Serpentine. With Serpentine, the brand focuses on the quiet tension created by opposites. The contrasts between stillness and fluidity, digital and analogue, city and sea serve as the starting point for the designs. Handcrafted in Italy, the new acetate styles are presented in neutral yet richly nuanced tones. Havana browns recall polished mahogany, while deep navy shades evoke the reflections of moving water. At first glance the palette appears understated, yet the depth created by line and light reveals how simplicity can carry a quiet authority of its own. Precise milling techniques lend sculptural angles an unexpected lightness. Alongside the acetate designs, the Serpentine collection also introduces a new titanium frame series in the iconic Knightsbridge green tone. Handcrafted in Japan, these titanium models gain architectural clarity and a natural sense of balance through the Deco Rim Wire detail and carefully selected lens tints. Drawing inspiration from Cutler and Gross archival styles and shaping them through contemporary design codes, the Serpentine collection confidently bridges past and present. From Oyster bullion frontal pins to meticulously engineered frame constructions, every detail reflects this approach. Built on a design philosophy of restraint and refinement, the collection invites wearers to embrace a slower and more considered rhythm.

Masunaga introduces its collection for the Spring/Summer 2026 season. At the heart of the collection is the new Chord M model, added to the Chord series. Featuring ultra-thin lines and a front frame that is only 0.7 mm thick, the Chord M offers superior comfort with its original temples made of highly elastic titanium alloy. The Crosby model, made entirely of metal, offers a more striking architectural expression. The layered brow line and double-layered bridge add depth to the frame, while carefully selected color combinations such as black/gold emphasize Crosby’s elegance. The gold details on the hinges provide an eye-catching yet elegant finishing touch. Masunaga highlights a feminine and assertive attitude with Pizzicato in the new season. The butterfly shape and sharp upper line, achieved with the brand’s unique cutting technique, reduce weight while enhancing the appearance. Rich acetate tones and gold details reinforce Pizzicato’s confident and expressive character. Masunaga completes its series, blending heritage and modernity, with models that stand out with details such as Koki 110 and Koki 111, alongside Aria, which balances volume and lightness with its three-dimensional outward-opening form made from 6 mm acetate.
