Robert Marc commemorates the eyewear brand’s 45th anniversary with a twofold announcement heading into its milestone year. The label debuted its spring 2026 collection and campaign, “Volume One: The Feeling Remains,” and announced the appointment of designers John Juniper and Jeff Solorio.

Juniper and Solorio, cofounders of eyewear brand Dita, join Robert Marc as the brand embraces a new chapter with the longevity of its product front of mind. “This rebrand is just the beginning,” the designers said. “We see Robert Marc continuing to evolve as a symbol of New York-driven design: timeless, architectural and modern.”

For the spring 2026 collection, Juniper and Solorio’s joint focus was bringing Robert Marc’s classic design codes into the future through their respective ingenuity. “Our inspiration is rooted in the restless reinvention of New York City; its constant movement set against moments of clarity and stillness,” the designers told WWD. “The brand has always drawn from the city’s cinematic light and architectural structure, and that remained central to our thinking.”

While bringing in their own inspiration, the designers nonetheless wanted to “respect the established design codes that define Robert Marc while introducing measured improvements to comfort, balance and wearability,” they said. “In that sense, the inspiration is both cultural and pragmatic, grounded in the city’s history and energy while focused on refining the product itself.”

The spring 2026 collection marks Solorio and Juniper’s debut with the brand, a collection and campaign that “reflects a considered interplay of style and fit, with an aesthetic that is detailed but restrained, emphasizing proportion and ease of wear. We see it as modern luxury: handcrafted frames, a rich yet controlled color palette, and materials chosen for both performance and longevity.”

Originally founded in New York City, Robert Marc’s designs have served a growing community invested in luxury eyewear. High-profile clients of the brand over the years have included the late Diane Keaton, singer Mariah Carey and actress Nicole Kidman, among others.

For more than 40 years, Robert Marc has built both its credibility and value as a luxury eyewear brand, one that Solorio and Juniper seem poised to take into the future. “We see Robert Marc continuing to evolve as a symbol of New York-driven design: timeless, architectural and modern,” the designers said.

“With 45 years of history as one of the first and leading luxury eyewear stores in New York City, the brand has cultivated something rare: enduring credibility and trust earned over time. Now is the moment to sharpen the brand’s positioning and lay a confident foundation for its next chapter.”
