Reebok has formed a new licensing agreement with RobSol Indústria Óptica for the U.S. sportswear giant’s eyewear in Brazil.
Under the agreement, RobSol will design, manufacture, and distribute Reebok sunglasses, optical frames, eyewear accessories, and swim goggles throughout the region, according to a release by Reebok parent company, Authentic Brands.
“This partnership marks an exciting milestone as we continue to grow Reebok’s presence in Brazil through high-quality, locally relevant products,” said Bruno Pedroso, head of Brazil at Authentic, which acquired Reebok in 2021.
“RobSol’s expertise in optical manufacturing and deep understanding of the Brazilian consumer make them the ideal partner to bring Reebok’s eyewear vision to life. Together, we’re delivering designs that balance performance, innovation, and style.”
The Reebok eyewear collection is set to launch nationwide beginning on November 24, with 22 initial styles. The full collection will roll out by March 2026 through major optical chains, key distributors, and select e-commerce partners.
“We are proud to partner with Authentic to introduce Reebok Eyewear to the Brazilian market,” said Zhao Fengdi, CEO, RobSol Indústria Óptica, whose portfolio of brands includes celebrity lines Sabrina Sato Eyewear, Carmen Vitti by Carla Diaz, and Femme Paris by Deborah Secco, as well as Disney, Ecko Unltd, Fox Eyewear, and Romano.
“Our shared focus on excellence and innovation ensures that consumers will have access to eyewear that reflects both RobSol’s craftsmanship and Reebok’s sport-inspired heritage.”
Earlier this month, Authentic Brands Group named Daniel Schachne as senior vice president of Reebok.

New York-based womenswear brand Derek Lam is set to return to the New York Fashion Week calendar this February, debuting the first collection under newly appointed creative director Robert Rodriguez.
The return to NYFW signals the relaunch of the Derek Lam mainline collection following the departure of founder Derek Lam in 2023. Rodriguez, a CFDA member, steps into the creative director role overseeing design direction, product development, and brand image.
Under Rodriguez’s leadership, the Derek Lam Collection will focus on elevated essentials defined by relaxed precision and modern refinement. While maintaining the brand’s signature minimal sophistication, the new direction introduces added warmth, texture, and sensuality.
“We’re working to elevate design and innovation across categories and accelerate brand recognition and consumer engagement,” explained Danielle Alalu, brand president of Derek Lam
“As the marketplace has evolved, we see an opportunity to bring back what was originally a designer collection in a more accessible way. Robert’s obsession with fit, quality, and design is exactly what Derek Lam needs to create a fresh point of view in the advanced contemporary space.”
The relaunched Derek Lam Collection will be positioned within the advanced contemporary market, with pricing ranging from $295 to $1,295. The brand will initially be reintroduced through brand-owned direct-to-consumer channels, with exclusive partnerships with global retailers to be announced later this year. Derek Lam 10 Crosby will continue to operate as a separate contemporary line.
“Robert brings a rare balance of creativity and commercial instinct. Alongside Danielle’s strategic leadership, we now have a unified team ready to propel Derek Lam into its next chapter- building a modern American brand with global reach and enduring relevance,” added Dan Shamdasani, CEO of Public Clothing.

After a pilot in September under the name Who’s Next Home, Shoppe Object Paris will stage its first edition from January 17 to 19. This Parisian spin-off of the renowned New York fair is organised by WSN and Andmore, one of the major players in design and home shows in the United States.
Located on the first floor of Hall 7 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles (Paris 15th), the show brings together 80 exhibitors for its debut. Anchored by an open-ended agreement between the parties involved, it is underpinned by a long-term vision and bold ambition. Matthieu Pinet, director of Shoppe Object Paris, makes no secret of it: “We’re going to be extremely ambitious with this project, which is set to grow substantially and, before long, I hope, occupy a hall of its own.”
A mainly European line-up
A twice-yearly event held every January and September, the show spans a wide array of product categories—fourteen in total—including furniture, lighting, tableware, household linen, beauty (candles) and high-tech.
“Hunting for brands is our job,” explained Pinet, also the founder of Matter and Shape, WSN’s annual show dedicated to objects and design. “It’s these gatherings of the creative industries that make our work so exciting. It means that every day is a hunt for the right products,” he continued.
So to find exhibitors, he and his team combed the sector to bring together 40 French exhibitors and 40 from seventeen other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain and Italy. They include lighting specialist Flos, publisher Phaidon, tableware designer Serax, household products brand Kerzon, and speaker specialist Transparent.
A complementary show to Matter and Shape
The Matter and Shape event, whose physical iteration under the WSN banner was launched in 2024, is not set to disappear with the arrival of Shoppe Object Paris: the two are complementary. Indeed, it was a visit to the French show that finally convinced Shoppe Object that WSN was the right partner to develop its French branch, according to Pinet.
“With Matter and Shape, there’s a desire to present something people don’t expect,” emphasised the director of both shows.
“At Shoppe Object Paris, it’s very different. The aim is to address a need already expressed by boutiques: to integrate a new offer into their catalogues,” he explained.
Bringing new energy to WSN
WSN, through its CEO Frédéric Maus, maintains that the future of shops lies in diversifying their offer, and advocates a strategy based on the concept-store model.
“We’re supporting a market evolution that is pushing boutiques towards a “concept-storisation”,” said Pinet. This should bring some of the “most beautiful boutiques in the world” back to the WSN event, where their presence had waned.
WSN now counts five shows in January: Who’s Next, Interfilière Paris, Bijorhca, the Salon International de la Lingerie—added to the line-up in 2021 and 2023—and Shoppe Object Paris.
WSN continues to diversify, banking on growth “at the right pace”, in the words of Matthieu Pinet. So far, the January event is running 30% ahead of its initial registration target. Among visitors, WSN hopes this offer will attract a new audience while also winning over its regular clientele.
