The Dolce Gabbana 2025 collection unveils its Spring/Summer sunglasses line, designed to assert a strong visual identity, balancing tradition and modernity. Each model embodies the structured elegance distinctive to the Italian fashion house, characterized by bold shapes, high-quality materials, and a campaign featuring minimalist aesthetics.
This new stylistic chapter continues the tradition of Made in Italy craftsmanship, with meticulous attention to silhouette, comfort, and visual signature. The brand thus confirms its strategic position in the high-end eyewear sector, in collaboration with the EssilorLuxottica group.
With sculptural lines, iconic details, and bold contrasts, the Dolce Gabbana 2025 collection is rich with remarkable pieces. Here is our selection of models of Women’s and Men’s sunglasses that, in our view, embody the essence of Dolce Gabbana style this season.
Inspired by vintage archives, these frames adopt a tapered butterfly line, designed for Women’s faces seeking an accessory with stylized elegance. The design remains clean yet modern, with a subtly updated palette. This is the case with the DG4501 model, protagonist of the Spring/Summer 2025 campaign, which perfectly embodies this approach. Its acetate frame with soft lines is distinguished by an oversize front and wide temples adorned with the metallic DG Crossed logo. This model comes in five refined colors: black, havana, yellow havana, red havana, and camel havana, all enhanced with the house’s iconic gold logo.
On the men’s side, the Dolce Gabbana 2025 collection stands out with models that exude bold presence while revisiting classic codes. One standout is the DG4507 model: pilot-style sunglasses in acetate with a vintage look, reimagined with contemporary elegance. The front features subtle metallic details, while the sturdy temples proudly display the DG Crossed logo—a signature of the brand.
The color palette is made for men of character: matte black with mirrored lenses for a sleek, technical finish; glossy black with golden highlights for a sophisticated contrast; and two shades of Havana—one warmer, the other more mineral—both paired with a gunmetal logo.
Each pair of Dolce Gabbana 2025 sunglasses reflects a commitment to expert craftsmanship. The brand favors durable yet comfortable materials like premium acetate, offered in colors ranging from glossy black to translucent Havana, as well as more expressive tones like red and amber. Metal components—titanium and stainless steel—reinforce the frame’s structure while enhancing the details without adding weight.
Designed and assembled in Italy, the sunglasses benefit from the industrial expertise of EssilorLuxottica, Dolce Gabbana’s exclusive global manufacturing and distribution partner. This partnership, renewed through 2039, ensures consistent levels of quality, comfort, and durability.
In tune with current trends, Dolce Gabbana 2025 embraces the oversized eyewear movement, turning sunglasses into true style statements. The balance between bold glamour and structured lines gives each model a defined aesthetic. This collection doesn’t shift between past and future—it blends both, merging the brand’s heritage with today’s fashion expectations.
The Spring-Summer 2025 collection will be available starting March 2025 in Dolce Gabbana boutiques, on the brand’s official website, and through EssilorLuxottica’s authorized retailers.
The Spring-Summer 2025 eyewear campaign from Dolce Gabbana 2025 embraces a distinctly contemporary aesthetic, captured through the lens of photographer Karim Sadli. Known for his understated and sensory approach, Sadli previously made waves in the eyewear world with the Chanel Eyewear Spring-Summer 2024 campaign, bringing his sharp and elegant perspective to frame design. Here, he elevates oversized frames with sculptural lines—a hallmark of Dolce Gabbana’s style—using light, texture, and expressive faces to full effect.
Art direction was led by Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel, founders of the creative agency Maybe, who bring a cinematic and minimalist vision to the entire series. Their approach enhances the essence of each piece: bold sunglasses worn by equally bold personalities.
Models Lulu Tenney and Bibi Breslin powerfully represent the SS25 season. Already featured in the Victoria Beckham Eyewear Spring/Summer 2024 campaign, shot by Ezra Petronio, Bibi Breslin confirms her rising presence in the optical fashion scene. Her intense gaze and subtle movement align perfectly with the confident aura of the new women’s frames in the Dolce Gabbana 2025 collection.
By collaborating with renowned photographic talent, the Italian house reaffirms its commitment to a cohesive and ambitious artistic vision—one that stays true to its visual identity and creative spirit. This dedication is reflected in every piece, from daring men’s sunglasses to sculptural women’s silhouettes, all designed to elevate individual expression.
Behind the continued growth of the Dolce Gabbana 2025 eyewear line stands a major player in the industry: EssilorLuxottica, the global leader in optics. Since the mid-2000s, the Italian fashion house has entrusted the development of its eyewear collection to Luxottica through an exclusive licensing agreement signed in 2005. This contract gives the Italian giant full responsibility for the production, global distribution, and creative development of all Dolce Gabbana frames—including men’s, women’s, and sunglasses models.
In 2020, the partnership was renewed once through 2029. But in March 2024, the brand and its partner announced an early renewal of the agreement through 2039, extending a collaboration that will have spanned nearly 35 years. This rare move in the luxury world not only highlights deep mutual trust but also a long-term strategy in the premium eyewear sector.
“Dolce&Gabbana has held a special place in our hearts for twenty years. Since our paths first crossed, we’ve created beautiful, timeless, and innovative frames together—each a Made in Italy masterpiece,” said Francesco Milleri, Chairman and CEO of EssilorLuxottica.
From the Milanese fashion house, Alfonso Dolce, CEO of Dolce&Gabbana, emphasized the importance of the partnership:
“EssilorLuxottica and Dolce&Gabbana have built a strong relationship, both commercially and creatively. (…) This long-term renewal confirms our shared confidence in the future.”
This strategic alliance allows the brand to combine stylistic creativity with industrial strength. While Dolce&Gabbana contributes its visual universe, aesthetic precision, and trend-setting instincts—from feminine butterfly frames to masculine aviators—Luxottica brings its technical expertise, manufacturing excellence, and unmatched global distribution network.
“By continuing our partnership with Luxottica—the industry leader—we will fully realize the potential of the Dolce&Gabbana eyewear collections, which represent an increasingly significant part of the brand’s universe,” added Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the house’s founders.
Today, Dolce Gabbana’s sunglasses, eyeglasses, and optical frames are no longer just accessory items—they are a core pillar of the brand’s lifestyle identity, alongside leather goods, fragrance, and fashion. This is a strategic and fast-growing segment playing a key role in Dolce Gabbana’s global expansion through 2025 and beyond.
For nearly twenty years, Dolce Gabbana has shaped its optical identity with the same intensity as its ready-to-wear collections. Debuting in the mid-2000s, the brand’s first signature eyewear quickly established a bold vision of Italian luxury. Staying true to its roots, the house brought its stylistic DNA into the optical world—Sicily as a backdrop, unapologetic sensuality, and a deep commitment to exceptional craftsmanship.
Over the years, Dolce Gabbana has expressed this visual identity through a contrast-driven approach. Some frames embrace baroque ornamentation, floral detailing, or intricate lace effects—recalling the embroidery and prints seen on its runways. Others adopt a minimalist aesthetic with sleek lines in black acetate or gold-tone metal, embodying timeless classicism. This balance between decorative opulence and formal precision defines the brand’s duality—tradition and boldness in perfect harmony.
The story of Dolce Gabbana eyewear is also one of constant reinvention. Without losing sight of its heritage, the brand regularly revisits iconic 20th-century silhouettes. Cat-eye and butterfly frames, inspired by the 1950s and ’60s, are modernized with updated materials and reimagined proportions. Glamorous oversized sunglasses—a nod to the 1970s, beloved by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana—evoke a sophisticated femininity reminiscent of muse Monica Bellucci.
This ability to merge vintage inspiration with innovation is evident in collections like the “DNA” line, launched in 2024, which reinterprets the house’s signature silhouettes with a retro-futuristic twist. By contrast, other designs lean into ultra-modern aesthetics with wraparound visors, angular lines, and sculptural frames, responding to the style preferences of today.
At the same time, Dolce Gabbana has built a strong optical identity through memorable campaigns and iconic ambassadors. David Gandy, a long-standing male figure of the brand, embodied Mediterranean elegance for several seasons—three-piece suits and flawless sunglasses in tow. On the women’s side, loyal muses—including models, actresses, and brand icons—have worn the house’s optical creations, further rooting eyewear within the Dolce Gabbana luxury universe.
Today, Dolce Gabbana’s sunglasses and eyeglass frames are no longer mere accessories—they are extensions of personal identity, much like the brand’s bags or fragrances. They represent a way of living the Dolce Gabbana lifestyle in every detail—a signature worn through the gaze, at the intersection of fashion and design.
With its Spring/Summer 2025 collection, Dolce Gabbana 2025 masterfully reaffirms its ability to blend stylistic heritage with forward-thinking design. Inspired by Sicilian aesthetics and the brand’s signature glamour, the new frames reveal bold lines, refined details, and a contemporary approach to design. Whether it’s men’s eyeglasses, oversized women’s frames, or assertive sunglasses, each creation reflects a subtle balance between tradition and modernity.
The renewed partnership with EssilorLuxottica strengthens this momentum, providing Dolce Gabbana with top-tier industrial expertise and global reach—while honoring the brand’s artisanal standards. The result? A cohesive, high-caliber collection designed for those who see eyewear not merely as a functional accessory, but as a natural extension of their style and personality.
By fully integrating eyewear into its broader universe, Dolce Gabbana isn’t just following a trend—it’s asserting its place as a key player in contemporary luxury eyewear. The SS25 season is a brilliant example of this, marked by design precision, visual impact, and cultural depth. A vision by Dolce Gabbana—meant to be worn with pride.
