Lozza Is Ready for the ’26 Winter Olympics!

De Rigo presents two limited-edition Lozza models created exclusively for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Both designs unite Lozza’s deep-rooted heritage with the timeless Alpine elegance of Cortina d’Ampezzo. The first model, SL4416, takes inspiration from the 1980s Team Spinnaker and introduces a silhouette full of character. Its full-acetate structure and side shields adorned with metal studs—shaped to recall a sail in motion—lend the frame a refined, sporty appeal. Equipped with Zeiss lenses in four colour options, the model ensures high performance in mountain conditions. A special lens variant developed for this limited edition reduces blue light, enhancing visibility on snow. Positioned as a strong choice for those who embrace mountain living without sacrificing metropolitan elegance, the SL4416 stands out with its confident design language. The second model, SL4417, reinterprets an archival Lozza shape through a modern, forward-looking lens. Its wraparound, fluid lines bring a dynamic and contemporary attitude to the frame. The closed bridge with its five-line motif serves as a subtle signature referencing the letters of the Lozza name. Offered with four Zeiss lens options, the model also includes a snow-optimized lens and a bold multilayer mirrored variant.

Among them, the introduction of a rich Havana hue stands out, bringing a natural warmth to Lool’s cool, tech-forward aesthetic. With names like Ratio, Equil, Haptic, and Hornet, the new models could just as easily belong in an architecture studio as in the eyewear of the future. Minimal in form yet maximal in performance, Lool’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection once again proves that true innovation doesn’t shout – it whispers, with precision, clarity, and lightness.
