Eyewear brand TREE Spectacles has unveiled its 'MARKS' collection for autumn/winter 2026. Each of the five optical models – Valerie, Sophie, Jardins, Brigitte and Jolie – carries a small signature detail: a dot, loop, orbit, axis or wave. They come in four colourways each, pairing clean shapes with intricate laminations and a soft, desaturated palette.
The acetate frames are made with artisans in Cadore, Italy. 'I wanted to create a collection so essential that it felt inevitable,' says founder and designer Marco Barp.
Where things may go next is the subject of Selin Olmsted Studio's fourth eyewear trend report, this time for 2028. Across more than 70 pages it examines how fashion, interior design, architecture and culture could shape future frames, from runway and street style analysis to acetate selections and colour palettes.
