As the main partner of OPTA 2026, EssilorLuxottica warmly invites you to the VIP Club in Pavilion G, where an inspiring programme full of optical innovations, trends and technological advancements will be available throughout the fair. Come and get inspired, meet industry experts and discover new possibilities in modern optics.
EssilorLuxottica is a global leader in ophthalmic lenses, frames and optical technologies. Its extensive portfolio brings together iconic brands that shape the direction of global optics and fashion. From legendary Ray-Ban models and high-performance Oakley eyewear to the latest fashion trends from Vogue Eyewear or Arnette. EssilorLuxottica is also trusted by leading fashion houses whose collections dominate the fashion world – including Emporio Armani, Armani Exchange, Michael Kors, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace. Thanks to this unique combination of style, innovation and design heritage, EssilorLuxottica offers collections that appeal to different generations of customers and transform eyewear into a true fashion accessory.
SPRING/SUMMER 2026 TRENDS
The clear winner of the new collection is the iconic Aviator model (also known as pilot sunglasses). This timeless silhouette, originally designed in the 1930s for U.S. Air Force pilots, quickly made its way from cockpits into the fashion world and became a symbol of style, confidence and freedom. The iconic Ray-Ban model has long been one of the most recognizable shapes in eyewear, and in the current season we are seeing a strong return of aviators across many brands – from mainstream to luxury segments. Metal details, acetate constructions, subtle lens tints and modern interpretations of the classic double bridge confirm that true icons never fade away.
The new collection is complemented by striking design and colour trends. Inspiration comes from mineral structures and organic shapes, bringing natural textures and earthy colours – particularly shades of brown, green and azure. Alongside them appears a soft, airy palette of neutral tones such as beige, butter yellow and light blue, often in matte or transparent finishes. Yellow and golden lens tints also stand out as an interesting accent, adding energy, warmth and a distinctive character to the frames.
OAKLEY AUTHENTIC PRESCRIPTION
Sports enthusiasts will certainly appreciate the Oakley Authentic Prescription (OAP) programme, which makes no compromise between performance and style. OAP lenses offer a wide range of indices, materials, technologies, tints and coatings, meeting even the most demanding requirements for prescription lenses. Thanks to Prizm™ technology, athletes can further customise their lenses for specific sports disciplines – whether cycling, golf or fishing. OAP lenses are an ideal solution not only for complex sports models but also for maximum comfort in everyday wear.
We look forward to welcoming you to the VIP Club in Pavilion G.
