ASPINAL OF LONDON EYEWEAR AW26: LIGHTER FRAMES, SIGNATURE ASPINAL DETAIL
Favoured by style icons and tastemakers across the globe, Aspinal of London has long been synonymous with British luxury.
This season, the house carries that sensibility into eyewear at a moment when frames have become one of fashion’s most expressive finishing touches. From the runways to the front row, gentle curves sit alongside bold geometry, the navigator returns with renewed confidence and pared-back rectangles lend a polished edge to tailoring, with glasses increasingly chosen to complete a look rather than simply complement it.
Capturing the silhouettes currently shaping the fashion conversation, four new optical models, ASP L602, L603, L604 and L609, form a trend-led introduction designed for women who treat eyewear as a defining accessory. Spanning a soft oval, an oversized geometric, a statement double-bridge navigator and a sleek rectangle, each style features a lightweight construction made for wearing from morning meetings to evening engagements.
Uniting all four models is a shared set of signature casted componentry, giving the styles the same instantly recognisable finish found across Aspinal’s coveted leather goods. A gold-toned metal plaque carries the Aspinal name between faceted detailing, while a custom shield-shaped hinge is etched with either the brand’s signature “A” or the house’s iconic bee, the latter reserved for the collection’s sustainable models. These details are carried through a curated palette of glossy black, rich browns and deep greens, alongside warm crystals and soft champagne, with olive ombre gradients bringing a fresh, fashion-forward edge to the collection.
Alongside these introductions, ASP L610 and L611 debut a new temple concept inspired by Aspinal’s much-loved enamel bangle. The bangle’s engraved roundel is reimagined as a gilded medallion at the hinge, bearing the Aspinal signature “A” encircled by the brand name, while a two-tone temple trim in light gold and silver ensures each frame reads as a piece of fine jewellery.
Offered as a classic rectangle and a softly lifted cat-eye in black, chocolate brown, tortoise and marbled emerald green, the two styles invite the wearer to coordinate eyewear with accessories.
Created for a discerning customer seeking contemporary luxury, the new models distil Aspinal’s eye for detail into a lighter, contemporary form, offering eyewear as effortless to wear as it is elegant.
The new Aspinal of London optical models are available to order now via the Eyespace website, or through your Eyespace Account Manager.
