There are collaborations, and then there are moments. The latest from Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, and Berlin’s cult eyewear house ic! berlin is absolutely the latter — a mic-drop of a collection that’s not just about glasses. It’s about showing up in the world looking like you know something everyone else doesn’t.
Eight new styles, zero apologies, and one thing very clear: whether you’re stepping out of a matte-black AMG GT or catching an Uber in a vintage trench, these frames are here to upgrade the story you’re telling.
Mercedes-Benz Eyewear: Retro Done Right
Let’s start with the Mercedes-Benz side, which channels retro sophistication the way only a brand that practically invented aspirational living can.
There’s something unmistakably cinematic about these frames — like they belong in grainy paparazzi shots of you exiting a hotel in Rome, coffee in one hand, oversized tote in the other.
Smooth curves, minimalist precision, and whisper-quiet flexes like the signature star pattern tucked along the temples. And yes — photochromic lenses that adapt to light conditions so seamlessly, it’s like they read your mind (or at least your calendar).
The MB 21 prescription frames and the MB 24 sunglasses in deep maroon are both instant classics — bold enough to start conversations, clean enough to end them.
Mercedes-AMG Eyewear: Power Moves Only
On the AMG side, it’s all kinetic energy and unapologetic swagger — frames built like they just rolled off the Nürburgring and decided to crash Paris Fashion Week on the way home.
FLEXARBON® is the secret weapon here — a carbon-fiber material light enough to feel like you’re wearing nothing, but engineered tough enough to survive the life you actually live. (Late nights, early flights, sudden rooftop dance floors.)
The colors? Fearless. Venice Green, Yellow, Aubergine Orange — shades that tell the world you didn’t just show up, you arrived.
If you’re serious about leaving a wake behind you, the AMG 19 SHIELD sunglasses — all mirrored lenses and futuristic ambition — are not optional. They’re essential.
Hand-Forged Cool, Zero Screws Given
Every frame is handcrafted in ic! berlin’s Berlin workshop — famous for creating glasses with no screws, no nonsense, and no patience for mediocrity.
It’s minimalist engineering, tuned like a race car, worn like a second skin.
These aren’t the glasses you have to wear.
They’re the ones you get to wear.
And trust: whether it’s a private dinner in Berlin, a balcony party in Brooklyn, or a 6 a.m. red-eye with a side of regret, these frames will keep you sharp, even when everything else is blurry.
Where to Get Them
The collection is available now at the ic! berlin flagship store in Berlin-Mitte, and at select authorized opticians worldwide. Meaning: a global takeover is imminent. Plan accordingly.
The Final Word:
- Mercedes-Benz styles: Cinematic, sculptural, impossibly polished
- Mercedes-AMG styles: Sharp, kinetic, built for maximum impact
- ic! berlin craftsmanship: Lightweight, handcrafted, effortlessly elite
Because at the end of the day, eyewear isn’t just an accessory.
It’s a message.
And this collection? It says exactly what Tori would want it to:
“I know where I’m going. I just look better getting there.”
