SPECTR Highlights Nine Independent Eyewear Brands in Autumn/Winter 2026 Trend Special

SPECTR published a trend special featuring nine independent eyewear brands for the Autumn/Winter 2026 season. The editorial showcases diverse design approaches, ranging from slim to voluminous frames and smoky transparencies to intense reds, blues, and violets. Featured brands include REIZ, YOU MAWO, KOBERG, NINE EYEWEAR, ETNIA BARCELONA, theo, and STUDIO EYEWEAR. Materials highlighted span titanium, precision-milled stainless steel, expressive acetate, and additively manufactured 3D-printed frames. Specific models such as REIZ’s “Krios,” YOU MAWO’s “Baham,” KOBERG’s “6065.1937,” NINE EYEWEAR’s “2366,” ETNIA BARCELONA’s “Poblenou,” and theo’s “Positive” are detailed with their respective construction characteristics. The content combines product studies by London-based Nocera & Ferri with portraits by Berlin photographer Ulrich Hartmann, presenting individual answers to contemporary eyewear design rather than a single seasonal formula.
