For FW26, Cutler and Gross returns to its origins with The Joy in Design, a collection inspired by the brand’s early spirit and its belief in eyewear as an expression of character. Drawing on the analogue era that shaped founders Mr Cutler and Mr Gross, the collection focuses on craftsmanship, considered details and the pleasure of objects made with care.

The acetate range, handcrafted in Italy at the foot of the Dolomites, explores sculpted optical and sunglass silhouettes through different proportions and architectural references. The 1410 Square Optical takes cues from mid-century Modernist geometry, with angular lugs and signature Desert temples, while the 1416 Optical revisits the understated elegance of 1970s eyewear through a slim profile and polished Oyster pins. The 1439 Optical introduces a refined evolution of the Oyster pin, while the 9346 Cat-Eye, 9387 and 9389 Optical styles reinterpret classic shapes with contemporary proportions and dimensional detailing. Completing the acetate offering, the 1434 Sunglass pairs a timeless square silhouette with softly tinted lenses.

Alongside it, the Knightsbridge Green Titanium collection is handcrafted in Japan from pure titanium, combining lightweight construction with architectural details and Oyster pin accents. Among its highlights are the contemporary Pembroke aviator, the restrained Wilton rectangle and the oversized Knightsbridge 1971 navigator, created to mark 55 years since the opening of the brand’s London flagship. The collection continues Cutler and Gross’s dialogue between technical precision, heritage and distinctive design.
