Dolce&Gabbana and Ray-Ban introduce a new partnership centered on Aviator as she approaches her 90th birthday. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana reinterpret the silhouette through two separate models, the Marksman and the Outdoor II.
The Shooter model draws from archival elements and creates a defined silhouette through precise additions. A mother-of-pearl brow bar sits across the frame, adding a distinct visual layer that sets the tone for the design. An integrated cigarette case forms part of the structure, introducing a functional detail associated with previous references.
The slim metal frame follows the Aviator shape, creating space between the lenses and the frame that creates a rimless effect. Teardrop lenses anchor the Shooter through a range of color options that include orange, pink, green, blue and yellow. Ray-Ban and Dolce&Gabbana logos appear on all lenses.
The Outdoorsman II takes a different approach while maintaining a connection to the original Aviator shape. A strong brow line introduces a stronger graphic presence, shaping the upper frame with a clear horizontal line. Thin metal construction keeps the structure light, allowing the design to maintain balance.
Lenses for the Outdoorsman II come in both mirror and clear finishes. The color selection includes blue, powder pink, beige, brown and green. Branding from both houses appears on the lenses.
Both models come with a leather case designed as part of the collection. The case includes a strap and a gold-tone metal clasp hook, allowing it to function as a wearable accessory. The campaign, filmed by Gray Sorrentosupports the launch with a series of images that present the collection through a direct and controlled visual approach.
