Something for everyone

Lunetterie Générale revealed its campaign for spring 2026, drawing inspiration from “Tokyo’s 90s business-renaissance spirit.”

At the centre of the campaign is Japanese actor Show Kasamatsu, known for his appearance in television drama Tokyo Vice.

The spring 2026 collection introduces three designs, handmade in Japan: ‘Grand Prix,’ ‘Après-Ski,’ and ‘Chivalry Isn’t Dead.’

The ‘Grand Prix’ frame is made from beta-titanium with engraved bridge and refined precious-metal plating. Custom made 4.0mm nylon sun lenses are enhanced by anti-reflective treatment.

The ‘Apres-Ski’ style fuses titanium and acetate with precious-metal platings. The acetate end tips are finished with stone-effect epoxy embellishments.

Finally, ‘Chivalry Isn’t Dead’ is handmade from titanium and acetate, with precious-metal finishes and signature acetate end tips. Stone-effect epoxy detailing adds an ornamental touch.

Eco Eyewear has announced three additions to its Biobased Collection. Frames in the collection are made with materials derived from castor seed oil, designed to reduce the use of fossil-derived resources.

The ‘Amaya’ frame is a butterfly silhouette available in four colourways of black, dark purple tort, bright red, and mocha.

The ‘Piper’ offers a reimagined cat’s eye shape, balancing vintage and contemporary fashions. The frame is available in palettes of pink tort, green, and bright red.

The ‘Carson’ is a rectangular design emphasising structure. The frame is available in black, blue, khaki green, and bright red.

A magnetic sun clip-on provides an easy transition from optical to sunglasses.

Jai Kudo Lenses has introduced a new progressive lens design, Signature.

Highlights of the lens include binocular balancing for natural, comfortable vision and reduced edge blur, ergonomic auto corridor to support smooth adaptation, and digital profiling for consistent accuracy.

Position of wear compensation reflects real-life fitting conditions, the company said, while lens simulations enable the design to be refined before production.

Signature draws on concepts seen in the Kudos system in a streamlined format.

Red Eyewear’s youthful, contemporary brand Forever & a Day is expanding into sunglasses for 2026 with a capsule collection for the spring and summer.

Launched as part of the Teen Edit, the sunglasses have been designed with younger consumers and smaller face shapes in mind.

The styles reflect the trend-focused ethos of the brand while prioritising comfort, fit and everyday wearability.

Mondottica Group has unveiled the debut optical and sun spring-summer 2026 collection from its partnership with Off-White.

Made in Italy, the sun collection is made up of 30 unisex acetate and metal frames, each offered in up to six colour options. The optical collection features 24 unisex acetate and metal models in seven colours.

Highlights from the collection include ‘Virgil M’ a bold, chunky black acetate referencing the founder of the brand, and matching silhouette ‘Elizabeth S’ in a white acetate with dark lenses. Both feature the Off-White arrow logo on the temples.
