When, in 1969, the first astronauts landed on the Moon, it was above all the fashion world that drew inspiration from those images, developing extraordinary collections of clothing and accessories such as the iconic plexiglass masks by Pierre Cardin and the futuristic designs of André Courrèges. And the Artemis II mission will no doubt have once again stirred the collective imagination, projecting it towards distant worlds that now feel closer than ever.

Suspended between distinctly terrestrial sporting influences and extraterrestrial allure, visor-style sunglasses remain as relevant as ever; indeed, they represent a bold aesthetic choice within a strikingly individual urban style. They were seen, for instance, on the F/W 2026 runway of Off-White, oversized with deeply tinted lenses (as seen in the opening image). IB Kamara, creative director of the brand founded by the visionary Virgil Abloh, dedicated the Mr. Davis collection to Miles Davis, who became an enduring symbol of disruption not only in music. A capsule collection was also created in collaboration with the Miles Davis Estate.

“From Munich to Mars” is the emblematic narrative celebrating 50 years of MCM, whose name stands for Modern Creation München. For this special anniversary, Marcolin created the MW0038 model, a limited-edition visor inspired by astronauts’ helmets. A symbol of the brand’s ongoing journey into the future, it features a wide, wraparound shape with diamond-cut metallic detailing across the lens.

Also oversized is the AM0594S model, McQueen’s bold interpretation, defined by a glossy black injected bio-acetate frame and side shields with a metal logo on the temples. Remaining in the oversized realm, the refined CL40350U Morning Shade by Celine bears an evocative name. Intersected by a slim black metal frame, it features a single smoked lens adorned with the gold Triomphe logo.
