Ray-Ban's New Vision for 2026: Empowering Self-Expression
Ray-Ban, the iconic eyewear brand, has just unveiled its latest campaign featuring brand ambassador and renowned rapper Awich alongside her hip-hop collective YENTOWN. This exciting new initiative showcases how the timeless styles of Ray-Ban can bring out vibrant individuality, proving that eyewear is much more than an accessory; it is a representation of one’s inner essence.
Awich, a prominent figure in the street culture scene, embodies the spirit of resilience and authenticity. Her past has shaped her music and artistic expression, making her a unique voice in the industry. The 2026 campaign features not only Awich but also fellow YENTOWN members kZm, MonyHorse, and U-LEE. Together, they illustrate the bonds of friendship, community, and shared experiences through the lens of Ray-Ban.
In the campaign's promotional video, Awich delivers a powerful message:
"Hey, do you know? Looking far ahead has become a luxury. Surrounded by tall buildings and caught up in the daily grind, it’s hard to dream. So let’s go. Let’s climb up here and reach for the highest places where we can see as far as possible."
This statement resonates deeply with those who face societal pressures and adversities. Awich's strength lies in her unwavering commitment to her style and the support of her friends and music that shape her identity. The visuals in the campaign encapsulate this sentiment, narrating a story of empowerment and authenticity.
Beginning January 10, the 2026 campaign will be available on the official Ray-Ban online store and in Ray-Ban retail locations nationwide. The campaign video and behind-the-scenes footage can be found on the Ray-Ban official YouTube channel, allowing fans to engage with the brand's ethos in a deeper way.
