Fashion week is kicking off so it is the perfect time to announce this fashion news. If you love a statement frame, this is juicy. Off-White™ – yes, as in the cult label founded by Virgil Abloh is teaming up with Mondottica to launch a full eyewear line, with styles for both sunglasses and optical. The first look drops at Silmo 2025 in Paris, and the collection lands 1 January 2026. Meaning you will start to find them in store or at your local opticians to purchase in the new year.
What to expect:
Unisex styles: both optical and sunglasses, made in Italy.
Sunglasses to watch: “Virgil M,” a chunky black acetate frame named after and worn by Off-White™’s founder, and “Elizabeth S,” a bold white twin with dark lenses. Big energy, classic Off-White™ attitude.
The details: the brand’s iconic “Arrows” logo sits on the temples, and there’s plenty of acetate and metal in the mix.
Optical highlights: models span slimmer metals to chunkier acetates and look out for the slightly cat-eye combo style with Off-White’s signature quotation-mark hardware, plus a thick black frame that comes with an optional magnetic shade clip-on. One frame, two looks. Sold.
Off-White™ eyewear is coming
Why we’re excited:
Off-White™ has always blurred lines between streetwear and luxury, and eyewear is such a natural extension of that language. Under creative director Ibrahim Kamara, the designs continue to play with shape, scale and those clever signature details. If you’re into fashion-first frames that still feel wearable, this could be your 2026 eyewear upgrade.
