DOLCE & GABBANA X RAY-BAN: REIMAGINING THE AVIATOR

Dolce & Gabbana and Ray-Ban unite to reimagine the iconic Aviator as it nears its 90th anniversary. Through new interpretations of the Shooter and Outdoorsman II, the collaboration blends Italian heritage, bold design, and contemporary culture, complete with exclusive leather cases that elevate eyewear into a statement accessory.

United by shared values and a passion for design, Dolce & Gabbana and Ray-Ban have unveiled a collaboration that fuses Italian heritage with contemporary culture. At the heart of this partnership lies the Aviator, Ray-Ban’s most enduring silhouette, which approaches its 90th anniversary with fresh interpretations by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

The collaboration celebrates the Aviator’s legacy while reimagining it through two distinctive styles: the Shooter and the Outdoorsman II. Drawing on archival elements, the Shooter is defined by its bold shape, a mother-of-pearl brow bar, and a built-in cigarette holder – nods to sophisticated vintage design. Its teardrop lenses, available in orange, pink, green, blue, and yellow, come in both transparent and mirrored options, each finely signed with the Ray-Ban and Dolce&Gabbana logos. The slim metal construction follows the classic pilot shape, creating a refined rimless effect that separates lens from frame.

Meanwhile, the Outdoorsman II captures timeless design with understated lines and a modern touch. A prominent brow bar lends the frame a graphic edge, while lightweight metal construction plays with negative space to elevate the silhouette. Its teardrop lenses, offered in mirrored and transparent finishes, are available in blue, powder pink, beige, brown, and green, all signed with the dual logos of both brands.

Beyond the eyewear itself, each pair is accompanied by an exclusive leather case, complete with a strap and gold-tone metal carabiner. Designed with signature Dolce&Gabbana detailing, the case doubles as a wearable accessory, easily attachable to bags or belts, underscoring the collaboration’s blend of functionality and fashion.

This partnership not only honours Ray-Ban’s iconic Aviator but also reflects Dolce & Gabbana’s unmistakable creative perspective. Together, they have crafted eyewear that embodies strong Italian roots, distinctive design codes, and authentic self-expression, ensuring the Aviator continues to shape generations to come.
