Valentino’s spring-summer 2026 Eyewear campaign pulls directly from its Haute Couture legacy. The house translates archival codes into a collection of frames that feel both deeply considered and completely wearable.

Valentino Eyewear Spring/Summer 2026 Campaign

Photographed by Angelo Pennetta against ornate classical architecture, the images have a refined quality. Wind-tossed hair, polka-dot suiting, and printed silk blouses stand out. Stylist Jonathan Kaye keeps the fashion feeling lived-in rather than stiff. Model Vilma Friedlander carries each look with an effortless, slightly undone cool.

The styles themselves are genuinely exciting. Bold black-and-white striped rectangles for one. Oversized geometric squares with gold Vlogo hardware. And then there are sleek tortoiseshell cat-eyes resting on ancient stone.

A fire-engine red rectangular frame that stops everything cold.
