RISE AND SHINE – UNLEASH YOUR SPARKLE
With the autumn/winter 2025/26 collection from BRENDEL eyewear by Eschenbach Optik, women can let every facet of their inner radiance shine through in a variety of ways. The RISE AND SHINE collection celebrates feminine radiance in shimmering, shiny, opaque, pearlescent, transparent and marbled frames and sunglasses. An elegant eye-catcher: the sun symbol as a fashion statement in various design interpretations.
Sophisticated details such as embellished eye rims, metal decorations, shimmering metal inlays and delicate hearts tell sunny stories in this multi-layered collection made of acetate and stainless steel. Angular cat-eye, oversized square or small angular panto styles features particularly wide temples or narrow stainless steel temples. Frames and sunglasses unfold elegant, earthy and soft nuances, colour gradients, havanas and sophisticated multi-layer acetates – eyewear fashion by women for women.
COLLECTION: FRAMES
Colourful variety, beautiful details and a radiant sun symbol: with its nuanced frames, this collection brings intense radiance and a soft shimmer to autumn and winter 2025/26. The solid, angular cat-eye Concept Queen made from Eastman Acetate Renew is a glamorous style statement with a shimmering pearl effect. Engraved rays on the front and the embossed sun symbol on the temple artfully showcase the collection’s theme. As a takedown, the Sunrise Glow concept, a deep soft square, creates a finely balanced colourfulness with depth from two layers of acetate. The laser-engraved sun symbol attracts attention. As Linear Grace, three high-quality full acetate frames in warm, muted colours celebrate diversity. Clear and exquisite at the same time, these models feature an elegant, filigree decorative line in the simple acetate temple. The name says it all: with the Sunny Selflove concept, Panto and softly rounded soft square acetate frames prove their versatility as sunglasses with magnetic acetate sun clip-ons. The three metal Delicate Luxury models feature a delicate, eye-catching pattern on the rim for added sophistication. Shiny metallic tones and matte colour applications harmonise perfectly with the slim, slightly rounded stainless steel temples. The Elegant Flexibility concept also impresses with its versatility: with polarised gradient lenses and prominent rims, panto and square frames transform from a casual stainless steel look to an expressive statement. The Colourful Finesse models in thin-rimmed acetate play the colour card with exciting colour gradients in midnight blue-light brown or anthracite-pink, as well as exciting havanas.
COLLECTION: SUNGLASSES
These sunglasses models allow you to embrace your own radiance on sunny days in a stylish and versatile way. Two sunglasses highlights, a flat oval and a deep hexagon, stand out with their wide, soldered temples, classic metal rims and artfully embossed sun symbol – and, of course, their beautiful gradient lenses. As part of the Sunrise Glow concept, the two takedowns create classic bold and colour fully understated elegant contrasts to the metal in Eastman Acetate Renew. In addition to Havana tones and subtle two-layer acetates, the sun laser-engraved into the metal on the tapered temples catches the eye. Elegant from colour family to temple, the Radiant Finesse models celebrate generous sun protection with oversized square frames and feminine lenses with cat-eye appeal. A colourful groove adorns the narrowly stainless steel temples. In exciting Havana tones, with textured acetates or in classic monotones, the Linear Grace models are simple, modern and high-quality acetate glasses. The delicate line in shiny metallic tones is also found here as a high-quality detail in the temples. Striking Essentials presents sunny acetate designs with fashionable lenses and wide temples, offering a wide range of shapes for a free choice of sun basics. Three metal models accompany sunny personalities through the day with wonderful radiance. With rose gold, gold or silver as a base, matt colour applications in sage, grey or taupe are stylishly accentuated. A special pattern highlights the eye contour.
LANGUAGE OF FORM AND MATERIAL WORLD
As in the Spring/Summer collection, the temples with embossed sun rays play a key role. Metal, acetate and stainless steel are used in a variety of sophisticated ways. On the highlight model, the solid, angular cat-eye, the sun rises twice with the engraved rays on the Eastman Acetate Renew front and the artfully embossed symbol on the stainless steel temple. The slim, deep soft square also shines with the sun lasered into the metal decoration. Different layers of acetate create a variety of colour and shimmer effects in prescription and sunglasses models, such as the flat soft square or the feminine panto. The oversized square, the round oversized, the deep square and the deep panto of the Striking Essentials concept also rely on exciting effects from the base and top layers when it comes to acetate. While the sunglasses in the Delicate Luxury concept feature simple metal elegance in panto, square and deep, angular aviator shapes, other models focus on a variety of design details. Shimmering metal inlays, delicate hearts, a delicately decorated eye rim or a decorative, filigree line (as a temple decoration on the Linear Grace models) invite you to add individual highlights. The temples take centre stage as slim, balanced stainless steel versions with a slightly rounded surface or coloured groove, as tapered or straight acetate temples – or in a combination of materials as elaborately produced metal temples with long acetate temple ends. Switch from light to shade with Panto, Karree and softly rounded Softkarree with clip-ons. This transforms the casual stainless steel look into an expressive acetate statement, or the Softkarree into a cat’s eye. A collection that is as changeable as light, from form to function.
COLOUR TRENDS
Whether as multi-layered acetate, richly glossy or as a delicate colour accent: the autumn/winter collection presents a colour concept that is multi-layered in the truest sense of the word, with elegant depth. Wine red, black, midnight blue, burgundy, berry, smoky blue and olive form the earthy foundation of the palette. Soft nuances such as anthracite, pink, rose grey and taupe complement the colour families. The different interpretations of the colours in acetate and stainless steel materials play a special role. Gradual colour transitions, Havana tones, multi-layered acetates and matt colour finishes create lively colour effects. Marbled, milky and transparent effects lend the frames a special lightness – inspired by the natural interplay of light and water. Sunny accents in rose gold, gold and silver create radiant, energetic moments of shimmer.
