Italy-based Piero Massaro Eyewear presents its new collection, Couture Visiva. Focusing on small-scale, limited-edition premium production, the independent brand reintroduces a design language that treats eyewear as a sculptural form with Couture Visiva. Since its launch in 2002, Founder and Creative Director Piero Massaro has based his design philosophy on the idea of reconnecting eyewear with the traditions of craftsmanship, tailoring and cultural expression. With Couture Visiva, he references his past in the fashion world. Massaro, who bases his new designs on proportion, colour balance, material depth and the discipline of tailoring, continues to draw inspiration from the aesthetic influence of Mediterranean light and Sicilian landscapes. Creative Director Piero Massaro conceives the frames in the new Couture Visiva collection not merely as accessories, but as portable design objects. Developed according to Massaro’s technical specifications and produced from Mazzucchelli acetate, the new collection features the PM952 model, which draws attention with its powerful and sculptural form. The model perfectly reflects the Couture Visiva collection’s couture and sculptural design approach. Each Couture Visiva model is offered in a limited edition of 100 numbered pieces.

Spanish brand Woodys presents its new Atelier collection, inspired by the Bauhaus principle that “form follows function.” With Atelier, the brand merges architectural clarity and artistic restraint into contemporary frames, ensuring that every line, proportion, and material choice serves a purpose. The result is a structured, confident, and timeless design language. The collection, featuring both optical frames and sunglasses that communicate clarity and strength without excess, includes standout models such as Linie, Kubus, Kreis, and Winkle, while iconic pieces like Balance and Form retain their layered laminations, sculptural volumes, and geometric front patterns, reinforcing the collection’s design Dna. Special gold-finished hinges and newly developed geometric temple tips further strengthen the architectural theme throughout the designs. All frames are crafted from durable, richly colored, and elegantly polished Mazzuchelli acetate. Sunglasses are equipped with Zeiss solar lenses, providing maximum protection against Uva and Uvb rays and marked with the engraved “Z” quality seal. With the Atelier collection, Woodys demonstrates that modern eyewear can remain deeply rooted in timeless design principles while delivering a precise, contemporary, and relevant aesthetic.

In the Spring/Summer 2026 campaign for Victoria Beckham Eyewear, shot by Mert & Marcus, the brand’s Founder and Creative Director appears as the face of the brand for the first time. The campaign presents Victoria Beckham’s approach to modern luxury in a bold, sculptural setting, juxtaposing minimalism with drama. Its streamlined visual language emphasizes the brand’s focus on attitude and style, positioning eyewear not merely as an accessory but as a key component of an outfit. Following the 10-year global licensing agreement signed with Safilo Group last July, the new season eyewear collection highlights angular and square shapes, oversized proportions, and thick temples that reflect the brand’s DNA. Black plays a central role in these striking designs, which blend retro influences with futuristic lines, while gold, green, and tortoiseshell tones complete the palette. Victoria Beckham said, “I was thrilled and proud to work with world-renowned photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Paloceras presents its new eyewear collaboration with Djibril Cissé, a professional footballer and style icon, under the name Leopard Lace. The limited-edition capsule collection combines personal symbolism with contemporary optical design. The project is based on an approach that translates Cissé’s unique and bold style, which he has maintained for years, into a design language. The collaboration capsule consists of two models selected from Paloceras’ Nouvelle Fiction series and stands out as a new interpretation of the brand’s Pebble collection adapted for everyday use. The C2 model offers an oversized pentagonal silhouette that stands out with its sculptural volume and balanced proportions. The S2 model, on the other hand, brings a different character to the collection with its square shape and more structured design. One of the standout features of Leopard Lace is its production technique. Instead of the standard milling method, Paloceras uses a special molding process that presses the frame and temples separately. This method preserves the volume of the material, resulting in a deeper and more sculptural form. The models are made from 6 mm heat-molded Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate, known for its density and durability. The design features a gold-plated special wire core, a Visottica-signed three-joint hinge system, and engraving details unique to the brand.

The French eyewear brand Anne & Valentin is expanding its design universe with new models. Inspired by frosted glass and the delicate marks left by time, the frames combine technical precision with an almost organic softness. The petite oval silhouette Vassia carries an elegant yet self assured expression. With its refined proportions and subtle hinge details, the model reveals a playful character. While maintaining a sophisticated presence, it offers a compact, charming and well balanced design. Venza presents a medium sized rectangular shape that stretches horizontally. In this model, the horizontal lines are softened through carefully calibrated proportions, creating a composed and balanced appearance. The sense of structure remains, yet without rigidity. With a thoughtful and measured design approach, it balances clarity with an introspective simplicity. Another standout model from Anne & Valentin, Vitri stands out with its generously rounded form that almost evokes the moon. While creating a slightly oversized effect on smaller faces, it brings together volume and lightness. The model expresses independence and confidence through a refined sense of eccentricity. Veliska draws attention with its faceted octagonal shape. Despite its graphic presence, the softened edges frame the face with a quiet strength. Although it carries a structured character, Veliska never appears harsh, combining a sculptural effect with elegance.
