Christian Louboutin's place in culture is firmly cemented. His iconic red-soled shoes have been featured in Cardi B's songs, were seen on Taylor Swift's feet during her sold-out Eras tour, and are easily found on every red carpet around the world.
Now, the French shoe designer is ready to tackle the eyes with his first eyewear collection in partnership with Italian manufacturer Marcolin, WWD reports.

The premiere collection includes a total of 25 styles. In February, the first 14 sunglasses and seven opticals were soft-launched. And in April, a capsule collection of Loubishark sunglasses, directly inspired by the iconic Loubishark sneakers, will be released with a full-scale campaign rollout worldwide.
“Bringing Christian Louboutin’s playful and mysterious essence into eyewear was an exciting creative challenge,” explained Laura Marogna, Marcolin Group’s Director of Style and Product Development. “Of course, red is at the core of the brand’s identity, so we incorporated the iconic red sole as a decoration on the front.”
For women, these glasses take on a cat-eye shape, “elegant and face-flattering, echoing the glossy allure of patent leather.” For men, the inspiration comes from pilot’s shapes, complete with signature details such as studs, the Cornetto—the Italian horn, as Louboutin calls it.

Each pair is named after the corresponding shoe style, tying the collection to the brand’s DNA.
Each model uses Zeiss lenses, providing the highest optical quality, with an “exclusive” lens tint developed that transitions from black to red.
The entire collection comes with an internal anti-reflective coating "with a signature red tint that protects the eye from internal refractive rays."
