Two visionaries of modern eyewear collide in a Fall/Winter capsule. A creative explosion where Alain Mikli’s graphic audacity meets Ray-Ban’s pop legacy, this collaboration redefines what optical design can be today.
The meeting between Mikli and Ray-Ban isn’t new. It began in the late 1990s and resurfaces now, sharper and more striking than ever. Despite aesthetic differences, both brands share a rebellious spirit. This Fall/Winter capsule, launched in Paris, brings that shared vision to life with renewed intensity.
The collection reinterprets an iconic silhouette from their earlier collaboration, adding bold new shapes. Every frame embodies creative contrast: chaos meets precision, tradition merges with rebellion, disruption fuses with design — all amplified by Mikli’s unmistakable chromatic palette.
Mikli brings avant-garde daring, sharp graphic lines, and an obsession with detail. Ray-Ban contributes timeless appeal, cultural resonance, and iconic presence. The fusion? A creative tension so vivid, it’s sealed with a first-ever red Ray-Ban logo — the mark of visual irreverence.
Exclusively at Alain Mikli and Ray-Ban boutiques. This choice underscores the capsule’s curated and directional nature — made for those who refuse to see the world the same way twice.
For those who provoke without spectacle. For those who assert their gaze with no compromise. It speaks to design-forward visionaries and to those nostalgic for a time when optical fashion dared to go all in. Each piece is a visual manifesto.
Because it’s one of the boldest creative collisions of the season — a statement between two giants who refuse to follow rules, at a moment when eyewear reclaims its place as a true aesthetic expression.

This is not a reissue. It is a restatement. A Return to Origins That Refuses to Romanticise Founded in […]
