FOLLOWING last year’s successful partnership, Rimowa and Mykita present new eyewear designs for Spring 2026. The Heritage series features a new campaign with renowned German talents: actress Nina Hoss and model Leon Dame.
Their involvement reflects the discipline behind artistic expression and craft. This collaboration is rooted in German heritage and a shared commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless design.
Leon Dame for Rimowa x Mykita
Together, the brands focus on developing eyewear inspired by a legacy of lightweight, durable construction. The collection is designed in collaboration between Cologne and Berlin, and meticulously handcrafted at MYKITA HAUS in Berlin. With this launch, Clay Green makes its debut. This tone-on-tone matte khaki colourway appears across hand-lacquered stainless steel frames and anodised aluminium rings in the HERITAGE series. Paired with Raw Brown Gradient lenses, the palette suggests a softly aged surface, while keeping a modern clarity.
Leon Dame and Nina Hoss for Rimowa x Mykita
The campaign is led by Nina Hoss, known for her emotionally resonant work in film and theatre, and Leon Dame, whose unique runway presence blends character and energy. Both talents bring dedication and a distinct personal language—qualities that mirror the partnership’s focus on technical precision and timeless design with a modern edge.
Set in a rehearsal space, the campaign positions sunglasses as tools to shield emotion, offer distance, and allow for private moments in public. Eyewear becomes an essential part of lived experience, acting as functional objects and extensions of the self.
