Retrosuperfuture’s fall-winter 2024 collection dives into a layered interplay of cultural influences, weaving street style, musical lineage, and Italian artistry into a singular vision of modern eyewear.

This season positions eyewear as more than a utility, turning it into a vibrant expression of individuality and craft. The collection strikes a chord with multiple generations, from those nostalgic for the grit of ‘90s street culture to aficionados of underground jazz and rock’s subversive aesthetics.

Retrosuperfuture’s Zaga, with its punchy design and bold silhouette, mirrors the kinetic energy of streetwear’s peak, while Thelonius offers a subtler homage to the soulful depths of improvisational jazz.

The Komori model, oversized with unapologetically thick frames, challenges conventional proportions—its structure reminiscent of Y2K maximalism reimagined for a new audience.

On the other side of the spectrum, metal designs like Spillo and Chopper pare back the visual drama with clean lines and eco-conscious Barberini lenses, grounding the collection in sustainability and modern minimalism.

This season’s offering doesn’t stop at aesthetics. It digs into eyewear’s identity as a medium for self-expression, blending vibrant tones with tactile materials. Shades of muted green and rich amber enhance frames that feel simultaneously retro and of the moment.

Integrating 36 optical pieces alongside updates to archival models reflects a seamless synergy of innovation and respect for legacy.

What emerges is an anthology of style—pieces that adapt to their wearer while retaining their distinct voice. Whether through the textured refinement of cellulose acetate or the lightness of premium metals, Retrosuperfuture’s designs speak to a forward-thinking yet heritage-aware philosophy.
