Alain Mikli x Ray-Ban: the season’s most radical visual clash

Alain Mikli x Ray-Ban: the season’s most radical visual clash

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.

How did the Alain Mikli x Ray-Ban collaboration come about?

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.

What are the standout pieces of this Fall/Winter capsule?

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.

What brand codes are being merged here?

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.

Where can this collection be found?

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.

Alain Mikli x Ray-Ban : Who is this visually radical capsule made for?

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.

Why spotlight this collaboration now?

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.
