When two legendary style houses come together, heritage design is reinterpreted through a modern lens. Dolce&Gabbana and Ray-Ban have joined forces to create a new eyewear collection that reflects their shared identity rooted in Italian craftsmanship, bold design language, and contemporary cultural influence.
The collaboration celebrates Ray-Ban’s iconic Aviator silhouette, which is approaching its 90th anniversary. Through the creative direction of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the classic style is reworked into fresh interpretations, including the Shooter and Outdoorsman II models.
The Shooter design features a distinctive bold structure enhanced with a mother-of-pearl brow bar and a unique built-in cigarette holder, paying homage to vintage-inspired detailing. Its teardrop-shaped lenses are offered in multiple colour options such as orange, pink, green, blue, and yellow, available in both transparent and mirrored finishes. Subtle branding from both Ray-Ban and Dolce&Gabbana is integrated into the frame, while the slim metal construction maintains the traditional pilot silhouette with a refined, semi-rimless effect.
The Outdoorsman II presents a more understated yet graphic aesthetic. Defined by its prominent brow bar and lightweight metal frame, it plays with negative space to create a clean, modern silhouette. The design also features teardrop lenses in shades including blue, beige, brown, green, and powder pink, offered in both mirrored and clear variations, with dual branding across each piece.
Each eyewear piece is accompanied by a premium leather case designed with a strap and gold-tone carabiner, allowing it to be worn as an accessory and attached to bags or belts. The packaging reflects the luxury positioning of the collaboration with signature Dolce&Gabbana detailing.
Shot by Gray Sorrenti, the campaign highlights the bold, expressive identity of both brands through vivid and contemporary imagery.
The collection will be released globally on April 16, 2026, available through Ray-Ban, Dolce&Gabbana channels, and select retailers.
