Off-White™ unveils its first eyewear collection in collaboration with Mondottica, announced for Spring/Summer 2026 and previewed at the Silmo 2025 trade fair. This genderless line of optical and sun frames is designed under Ibrahim Kamara’s creative direction and manufactured in Italy.
The collection introduces unisex optical and sun frames as a natural extension of Off-White™’s fashion universe. With 30 sunglasses and 24 optical designs, it combines acetate and metal materials, signature details, and functional design. Every piece reflects the brand’s street-luxury heritage while adapting to a global and style-conscious audience.
Among the sunglasses, the "Virgil M" model pays tribute to the brand’s founder with a chunky black acetate frame that Abloh himself wore. Its counterpart, "Elizabeth S", in bold white acetate and dark lenses, offers striking contrast. On the optical side, "OW5037" blends metal and acetate in a subtle cat-eye shape with signature metal quotation marks, while "OW9000" features a magnetic clip-on for sun protection.
Design is central to the line’s identity, channeling Off-White™’s visual codes—graphic citations, industrial references, and measured asymmetries. Under Kamara’s direction, each frame becomes a manifesto, featuring the brand’s iconic arrow logo and signature quotation marks in metal. This isn’t just a branded accessory—it’s an optical reinterpretation of Off-White™’s language.
For Bluestar Alliance, Off-White™’s parent company, the collaboration expands the brand’s presence into a lifestyle category while preserving its identity. Mondottica brings industrial expertise, global distribution, and a proven ability to translate fashion DNA into high-end eyewear, alongside labels like Palm Angels and Vivienne Westwood.
Previewed to select partners at Silmo Paris, the SS26 collection generated strong interest. Its premium positioning, bold visual identity, and Italian manufacturing confirmed both brands’ commitment to speaking to a discerning luxury audience looking for distinctiveness in the eyewear segment.
Because it marks the eyewear debut of one of fashion’s most influential labels—Off-White™ doesn’t just license a logo, it crafts a statement piece that reframes how we wear design daily.
