Exclusive License Agreements & Partnerships 

EssilorLuxottica and Moncler signed an exclusive licensing agreement that includes the design, production, and global distribution of Moncler eyewear, effective from January 2024.

EssilorLuxottica’s sport and performance brand, Oakley, renewed its on-field partnership and license agreement with the National Football League, extending the on-field partnership deal as the official eyewear provider through 2030. Looking ahead, Oakley is continuing its legacy as the trusted on-field partner for the fifth consecutive year by equipping all 32 teams and staff with pro-shields and eyewear, all powered by Prizm Lens Technology.

Sustainability & Innovation  

With its latest eyewear collection for Spring/Summer 2023, Emporio Armani continued its sustainable journey with cutting-edge designs and bio-based materials, reducing the use of fossil-based raw materials. The effort to reduce dependency on fossil-based materials in favor of renewable ones is also seen in the collection’s packaging, with glasses delivered in special packaging made with at least 50% recycled materials, including polyester. The collection fully captures the brand's contemporary style with enhanced self-expression through eye-catching transparencies and intricate details.

Marking World Clean-Up Day on September 16, the Company’s exclusive House Brand, DbyD, launched its first conscientious collection – called Re.Metal – made with 60% recycled metal sourced from electronic products and industrial scraps. Re.Metal is the result of many years of innovation and research, looking for ways to reinvent the market with an offer that is both accessible and raises the bar for the use of recycled materials.

Brand Anniversaries 

This year Vogue Eyewear celebrated 50 years of fashion with a dedicated capsule, a new special logo and a hot pink pack. Including original 70s stars and bold profile glamour, as well as the easy-to-wear looks of the 2K Gen and trendy geometries or glam-chic retro shapes of the 2000s, the 50th anniversary capsule framed each decade of Vogue Eyewear with style, revamping each one with a liberal dash of celebratory pink.

After announcing a ten-year licensing agreement in 2022, EssilorLuxottica and Swarovski have now unveiled their first premium eyewear collection. From statement shapes and brilliantly faceted crystals to sleek metals and signature touches, each piece captures the bold and joyful elegance of Swarovski. The eyewear range launches with a stunning visual campaign, shot by the critically acclaimed fashion photographer Steven Meisel.
